I have a centos server with 4Gb RAM. I'm doing a PHP console batch process that may take some hours... however it doesn't finish as the server shutdown after 1 or 2 hours from lauching the process... Here are the logs:

It starts the clean php session files then suddently stops all services and shuts down!

My code seems ok....do I need to force cleaning the variables on code?

What is the problem?

Thanks

  • If the script is causing the shutdown, you may want to post the script so that others can troubleshoot. Commented Dec 28, 2017 at 18:18

Your log shows that some process sent a signal to systemd causing it to shut down, and that the name of the process was kill.

Dec 28 04:40:04 www systemd[24724]: Received SIGRTMIN+24 from PID 11820 (kill).

It's most likely that a user did this manually, or that a script running on the system sent a signal to PID 1 (possibly by mistake, intending some other PID).

You may want to look into the two root user sessions that were open at the time of the shutdown.

  • I'm the only admin of the system, I was connected with 2 ssh, one with the script and the other with "top".... I did not kill any process... The shut down happens on every executation of that script Commented Dec 28, 2017 at 17:50
  • Then I would suggest studying that script very carefully. Commented Dec 28, 2017 at 19:27
  • I'd like to think that systemd did not start shutting the OS before reporting the reason why. Commented Dec 28, 2017 at 21:54

You seem rather certain that the server shutdown is a consequence of running the script. If that is the case, then the script is shutting down the server. If you don't want the server to shutdown then change the script.

OTOH if its not the script which is at fault, then something else is happening. Increase your logging level.
