Strange mysql logs

Hello,
System: ISPConfig 3.0.4.6 on Debian 7 (OVH)

I noticed a strange output in the logs.

Exactly once in two, running the cron job "usr / local / ispconfig / server / server.sh" causes an error in the logs of mysql (5.5.24 + dfsg-4):

Multitail on syslog and mysql.log

Code:

I guess that it is not a problem as the task executes half the time, but I do not understand what can cause this ...

Thank you in advance,
Laurent.

 

Is your system running out of memory?

Is it a physical server or a virtual machine?

 

Hi falko,Thanks fot your interest.

Non, I don't think it's a memory problem:

Code:

[email protected]:~# free
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:      66084500    4684564   61399936          0     305304    3084316
-/+ buffers/cache:    1294944   64789556
Swap:      1046520          0    1046520

And yes it's a physical machine not a VM one.

I tried to have a look at all my logs, but I don't found anything...

 

Solved...

I'm so stupid...

I finally found the cause: webmin sysstats (the root password wasn't recorded in the mysql module).

Laurent.
