For the past week, I have recieved an email that my server is low on memory. It comes through at about 4 am. When I check in the morning everything seems fine.

I'm on a Raq4. I also recieve errors about a cron job.

Could my logs be so large that they are causing problems at night?

Thanks

Considering that the RAQ runs things at about 4am through cron...

Something in there will most likely be the cause, and since it happens every day, check out what's running in both /etc/cron.daily and crontab

This overload at night is a typical problem with huge stats-files, see

I also getting this:



The SMTP (mail) server appears to be down. The mail server may shut
itself
down temporarily under extreme load, so you should also check the CPU load
on the server. If the load does not appear to be the problem, try turning
mail service off and then on within the Cobalt server Control Panel to see
if
this corrects the problem. If not, try rebooting the server itself. If
this
still does not correct the problem, contact Cobalt Technical Support.
