Re: "Mysterious" system crashes

I experienced a similar problem once when the VMS machine (VAX) was on the
same network where a
printer was and someone from a PC printed a document, the VMS-machine just
halted and booted again.

Hello all,

Environment:

Digital PWS433au
VMS V8.3 with the following patches:
UPDATE V4
SYS V5
LAN V2
TCPware V5.7-2, with all required patches

This is a home hobbyist system. I've been experiencing "mysterious"
system reboots each day for the past four days (when I say "mysterious",
I mean that there is no CLUE$<nodename>*.LIS files in sys$errorlog, and
no entries in the CLUE$history.dat file, either). There are no console
error messages that appear before the crashes.

These crashes happen while I am away at work, so I guess the system
misses me. :-) They do not happen at the same time each day, and
questioning of family members that are home at the time reveal no
unusual "power" glitches.

I recently patched the system each day after the crashes, with the OS
patches listed above. I have now downloaded SHADOWING V1 and FIBRE_SCSI
V3 (and will patch/reboot the system shortly), in a last desperate
attempt to abate the (seemingly) inevitable daily crash.

A quick scan of the ITRC OpenVMS forum entries for the past 3 weeks
reveal nothing.

Has anyone out there seen a "footprint" like this recently? My
apologies in advance for asking a technical question in this forum,

:-)

but I feel a sense of loyalty to this group, and I want to give you
folks first crack at this before I venture onto ITRC.

TIA
