As some of you will have noticed the site disappeared tonight, this was down to a server fault.
From the info I have it looks like 1 of the scripts that feeds data to noc.enta.net got stuck in a loop and used up all the memory and all the swap space, that made everything grind to a halt and the database server crashed.
I’m going to put a wrapper round the script that looks to be the culprit to stop it running more than 1 copy at a time, that should prevent it happening again.
The server had been up for 119 days (thats not a long time for a FreeBSD box)
