Hello Ram,

There could be many reasons for this behavior like Services got stuck. I would suggested to check the system logs for more information also please check if you face problem at a specific time. If yes, is there any cron get executed at that time?

You might consider installing the following script that will log every minute details on what is happening process, load, etc. on the machine:

cd /root
wget http://sys-snap.techfiles.us/
chmod +x sys-snap.sh
nohup ./sys-snap.sh &

This will save log files to /root/system-snapshot location. When the server becomes inaccessible again, simply reboot and then check those log files.

Next, you would want to specifically check /var/log/messages during the time the server becomes inaccessible to see if there might be any system issues occurring such as memory, kernel, or file system.
