Dear All,

We have EPrints installed on an Ubuntu 8.04 (the Hardy Heron) server.
On two occasions in the last couple of months this server has halted for
no apparent reason.  What has happened is this:

I have attempted to connect to the server using SSH Secure Shell.  This
connection appears to be successful but a command prompt never appears
-- this is the first indication that something is amiss.  I then try to
connect to the server using TightVNC, but this too fails.  I check to
see if EPrints is accessible and find that it is not.

The only option I am left with is to physically turn off the server,
then turn it back on.

Has anyone else encountered this with an Ubuntu server?
