Restart Loop of December 8

For about half an hour on 8 December 2023 the Limbo server booted and stopped roughly once a minute, for reasons the logs never explain.

Event Limbo 8 Dec 2023

The console relay in the Axolotl Storm channel recorded a strange evening on the Limbo server. Around 21:00 on 8 December 2023 it logged “Stopping the server”. 1 At 21:12 it stopped again and shut down the Create Track Map server with it, 2 and a minute later it was back up, “Done (3.674s)!”. 3

Then it kept happening. The log shows the server starting, stopping and saving about a second later, over and over, roughly once a minute, until 21:31. 4 5 A stop had already been logged on 7 December, 6 and the same pattern reappears on 14 December.

No cause appears in the logs. The chat suggests a misfiring restart script or watchdog rather than a crash, but nobody said so. It stays in the museum as a footnote.
