[Rodrigo Ordonez Licona]

Hi Bill

We do a forced Restart with cron (at 4am) to avoid the memory use building
up

, We have been running a Live stream for over 2 months, 

Ocassional server Hangs, Mostly network related.

Last two weeks  we did not have a single server hang.

Finally died.  3006 plays; approx 39 hours.  It happened when the demand was
peaking - delivering 5 or 10 at a time.

Server stats when it stopped delivering files:

CPU was bouncing between 50% and 95% capacity.

Any ideas?
