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

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

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

I think the answer will come from analyzing your log files and
possibly running something under cron (or in a shell script that
wakes up periodically) to gather memory/resource utilization. Even
look at a web log analyzer, like analog and see if there is a
correlation between web server hits and resource usage. You could
also try upgrading your web server/plugins or checking bugzilla for
related bugs.<br>
