I'm using a G4 533Mhz 1G ram + additional NIC as an internet web proxy server at school
dansguardian/Squid as the proxy SW
it rarely stay up and running for more than 8 minutes now... in the past week I've
UPdated sys SW to 10.3.9
switched out the RAM completely and replaced with new RAM
Run Disk Utility and repaired permissions
Booted from CD and Run Disk Utility and Run Repair Drive
Run Tech Tool Pro
Run Drive 10
Run Disk Warrior
that kinda lead me to believe that it might not be the HD failing... it appears to check out ok on all four Utility programs... and the sys SW has been fully updated... and the fan appears to be working fine so things shouldn't be overheating and causes freezes and crashes...
I am running no oither programs on this server... it just won't stay on very long, and my idea of a job is not restarting a computer and proxy server every 8 minutes... dansguardian and Squid are set to reboot automatically on restart... but they only do that half the time... otherwise its a manual terminal boot for them
any ideas why this mac has become so disfunctional... I'm not particularily Unix savvy so please elaborate if you're talking Unix speak
thanks, dan
