Situation:
It is a brand new sister server (with a only a small difference to the other cpanel server -> it has the latest firmware for the raid controller).
WHM 9.9.0 cPanel 9.9.2-S8
Redhat EL ES 3
2.4.21-20.ELsmp
Dual Xeon 2,8 Ghz
4 GB RAM
Raid 5 with 4 SCSI drives (Adaptec 2910 -> aacraid)
Now the server runs rock stable BUT
every 2nd day at 2:00 AM it is over!
The logs shows me nothing interesting - one time I found an entry about a scsi error at last.
I think it is a problem like the "smart check" with scsi raid systems - but with the smart check on the system crashed every time I ran upcp!
Okay I have to be an issue with a cronjob, but every cron job run at least daily!

It has to be a issue with
Oct 18 02:00:00 cpanel03 CROND[5310]: (root) CMD (/scripts/upcp)
But upcp runs daily!
I can run upcp 10times without a problem and the only difference if I start it is

if (!$ishuman) {
system("/scripts/cpbackup");
}

At the crash days the server stops working befor it could make the backup.
But I have also no problem to rund 10times /scripts/cpbackup.
Like I said it only crash every second day and everthing is running at least every day!
I couldn't explain it - first I thought of the "smartcheck issue" and I disabled it with "touch /var/cpanel/disablesmartcheck", next I thought I have to do with the cpanellog issue (cpanellogd spawning thousands of processes (fix) -
cpanellogd spawning thousands of processes (fix)).
Actually I had no idea
Next I will do is to seperate /scripts/upcp to testify my upcp theory.
What does upcp only every 2nd day do and not every day?
