RHEL5 Server -- all init5 processes died
this happened yesterday ona RHEL5 VM. Server was pingable, and when i logged in to VMWare Infastructure, i was able to access the console. Restarted httpd, sshd, mysql etc. I was then able to ssh back into the box.
Looks like all the init5 processes just died.
[root@server log]# service --status-all| grep "dead"
acpid dead but subsys locked
atd dead but pid file exists
auditd dead but pid file exists

squid: ERROR: No running copy
syslogd dead but pid file exists
klogd dead but pid file exists
xfs dead but pid file exists
yum-updatesd dead but subsys locked
After i started everything, it seems to work fine. Before i started anything a who -r gave a runlevel 5.
There are only two of us with root passwords and neither of us were at the machine at the time.
Checking logs / history nothing seems to be logged.
Any ideas where else I could look for where the problem might be?
