Sudden Zimbra shutdown

[snoopy_1978]

Hi everybody,

after a few days of running zimbra without any problem, one morning I recognized that it was stopped. I looked in syslog and saw these lines:

A deeper analysis of logs in /opt/zimbra/log/* just show that the zimbra components caught SIGTERMS (mysql for example) but not why or from whom/where.

Has anybody an idea what can cause zimbra to do a shutdown without any user interaction resp. what could "disable" services?

And - btw: is the line
"Oct 21 01:19:08 zimbraserver zimbramon[31087]: 31087:info: zmmtaconfig: Sleeping...Configuration inconsistancy detected"

a cause of the sudden shutdown or could it be a hint?

The manual startup of zimbra was without any errors or problems and since this, it runs...

Thx a lot!

Problem occured again today at 12:26 ...

[snoopy_1978]

After a bit more of searching I found this Zimbra config key (with zmlocalconfig):

zmmtaconfig_enable_config_restarts='TRUE'

I found this post in this Forum.
(1st point...)

which could be my problem, too. So I also deactivated this functionality with:

zmlocalconfig -e zmmtaconfig_enable_config_restarts='FALSE'

We'll see, if this solves the problem... whereas - if this IS the problem - I don't understand why zmmtaconfig

1.) stops zimbra in general even if no config changes are made and
2.) STOP and doesn't RESTART ....

let's me know if you can resolve that?
