Yes, all the packages are up to date. General web services -- static HTML, 
and the rest is mainly wordpress. 

You may be right about the restart, but I would like to know WHAT is 
crashing my web server regardless. We are not running any shiftily coded 
sites or apps on this server that I'm aware of (obviously something is 
shifty!). Is anyone aware of any other methods for drilling into the 
problem?

>Look in /var/log/http/*.

Yes, these are the web server logs I am referring to having checked. 

>Do you have a search engine scanning your web server?

Hmm, no, nothing systematic. The usual crawlers out there but nothing we 
are doing.
