Hi Henrik!

Thanks for your fast response!

Unfortunately, they have rebooted the server in the meantime and hobbit
looks like running again - or not?
This is, what you have requested:

server:~ #
hobbitd.log
=> shows only "Setup complete" entries everytime, we restarted the server.
Nothing else, beside some "Oversize page/ack/notify msg " and "Oversize
status msg from" which didn't (by the date) seams to be related.
2007-11-26 15:01:40 Setup complete

hobbitlaunch.log
=> There is something interesting:
007-11-26 11:32:50 Setting up hobbitd channels
2007-11-26 11:32:50 Setting up logfiles
2007-11-26 14:58:44 hobbitlaunch starting

2007-11-26 14:58:44 Setting up signal handlers
2007-11-26 14:58:44 Setting up hobbitd channels
2007-11-26 14:58:44 FATAL: hobbitd sees clientcount 1, should be 0
Check for hanging hobbitd_channel processes or stale semaphores
2007-11-26 14:58:44 Cannot setup status channel
2007-11-26 14:58:44 Task hobbitd terminated, status 1

And this is straight after a reboot of the server...

A misconfiguration?
What did I wrong?

since a long time, I run hobbit on a VM-Ware cluster. Works very well in
the past. However, the serverguys have updated the VM-Ware to 3.something

Since a while now, hobbit stops working several times a day...
The system looks like this:

Not easy to read. Could you show me a "ps f -u hobbit" or
"pstree -a -u hobbit", please ?

As far as I can tell, there is not "hobbitlaunch" or "hobbitd" process
running. Have you checked the hobbitd.log and hobbitlaunch.log files?
