this is REALLY weird. i have a script that runs from a special server and does an
ssh $server "apt-get -qq update ; apt-get -d -y -q -u upgrade" (as user root) i aborted the script during the process and it seems to have killed 3 of my servers! i don't get why the above command could kill them(no longer responding to pings). 2 more servers were close to death but recovered on their own after a few minutes. ive been using debian for years and apt for a couple years and have never had apt cause problems.. all of the servers are rock solid, 200+ day uptimes, never crashes.. i mean, i told apt-get specifically NOT to install any updates via the -d option ..what could possibly kill the connection? guess im going into the office now to hook a console up to them to see whats wrong. sigh nate
