I was able to get someone to run journalctl and send me the output and it was very interesting. First, there is logging going on continuously during the time when logging stops in /var/log/messages. Second, I see messages like this periodically: May 10 03:57:46 localhost.localdomain python[40222]: detected unhandled Python exception in '/usr/local/motor/motor/core/data/importer.py' May 10 03:57:46 localhost.localdomain abrt-server[40277]: Only 0MiB is available on /var/spool/abrt May 10 03:57:46 localhost.localdomain python[40222]: error sending data to ABRT daemon: This happens at various times of the day, and I do not think is related to the daemon crashing. But I did see one occurrence of this: May 09 03:49:35 localhost.localdomain python[14042]: detected unhandled Python exception in '/usr/local/motor/motor/core/data/importerd.py' May 09 03:49:35 localhost.localdomain abrt-server[22714]: Only 0MiB is available on /var/spool/abrt May 09 03:49:35 localhost.localdomain python[14042]: error sending data to ABRT daemon: And that is the daemon. But I only see that on this one day, and it crashes every day. And I see this type of message frequently throughout the day, every day: May 09 03:40:01 localhost.localdomain CROND[21447]: (motor) CMD (python /usr/local/motor/motor/scripts/image_mover.py -v1 -d /usr/local/motor/data > ~/last_image_move_log.txt) May 09 03:40:01 localhost.localdomain abrt-server[21453]: Only 0MiB is available on /var/spool/abrt May 09 03:40:01 localhost.localdomain python[21402]: error sending data to ABRT daemon: May 09 03:40:01 localhost.localdomain postfix/postdrop[21456]: warning: uid=0: No space left on device May 09 03:40:01 localhost.localdomain postfix/sendmail[21455]: fatal: root(0): queue file write error May 09 03:40:01 localhost.localdomain crond[2630]: postdrop: warning: uid=0: No space left on device May 09 03:40:01 localhost.localdomain crond[2630]: sendmail: fatal: root(0): queue file write error May 09 03:40:01 localhost.localdomain CROND[21443]: (root) MAIL (mailed 67 bytes of output but got status 0x004b) So it seems there is a space issue. And finally, coinciding with the time that the logging resumes in /var/log/messages I see this every day at that time: May 10 03:57:57 localhost.localdomain run-parts(/etc/cron.daily)[40293]: finished mlocate May 10 03:57:57 localhost.localdomain anacron[33406]: Job `cron.daily' terminated (mailing output) May 10 03:57:57 localhost.localdomain anacron[33406]: Normal exit (1 job run) I need to get my remote hands to get me more info.
