Server randomly restarts?

(1/2) > >>

?VG? Nagato:
I've been running a gmod server for 6 months, until suddenly the server will restart at the most randomest times
For example:
Having a small space battle, server will restart itself, looked in console, literally nothing except the last input thing was maybe someone typing hi in chat, then 5 minutes later, same thing, but nothing spawned in

3-4 hours later, another random restart with nothing spawned in!

1-2 hours after that, another random restart with maybe two ppl shooting each other!

In total in one day, we have has: 11-14 random restarts


What could it be? I've read on this forums that Ulx 3.6 was buggy and I should revert, but I doubt that's the issue, as this has only surfaced since last month

Could it be a hacker? Someone randomly restarting the server...(Which I doubt, since hackers would probably do more)

What should I do? Please help! lots of players are leaving my server because of this.
If you need logs, screenshots and a collection link, please let me know!

MrPresident:
This is mostly likely being caused by server monitoring methods you are using.

If you are running a server yourself are you using a .bat file to monitor the server and restart it if it crashes?
If you are using a server host (paid) they probably have software that monitors the server.

Sometimes if the server hitches or lags the software/batch file will think the server isn't responding and it'll kill and restart it.

?VG? Nagato:
I use serenity servers hosting
So how would I fix this? Ask them? Or what?

?VG? Nagato:
They said that it was an addon crash, and to try running the server without the collection....(which I don't wanna do, since today is a popular day)
So is it an addon crash or no?

MrPresident:
It's hard to say. If they are telling you it is, it probably is.
