I am receiving a ridiculous amount of emails as follows

ftpd failed @ Mon Feb 25 15:17:30 2008. A restart was attempted automagically.
spamd failed @ Mon Feb 25 12:47:54 2008. A restart was attempted automagically.
antirelayd failed @ Mon Feb 25 15:17:30 2008. A restart was attempted automagically.
exim failed @ Mon Feb 25 15:17:30 2008. A restart was attempted automagically.
imap failed @ Mon Feb 25 15:17:30 2008. A restart was attempted automagically.

Me being a WHM noob, I do not know where to begin to look as to how to fix these issues... I have no clue even as to what they mean....


PLEASE HELP!

pretty good support around here...

Hi, those emails are saying that those services have failed for some reason and are being restarted.

What version of cPanel do you run?

just upgraded to v11

Interesting. By version 11, cPanel fixed the bugs that were causing these emails to be generated by accident.

Do you know if these services are in fact failing? Have you seen any other signs, like websites/ftp/etc going down, other port monitors you have going off, ServerCommand/Orbit port monitoring going off?

If you don't have access to those kind of things, perhaps now would be a good time to give you this link: http://monitor.phirefast.com/en/ You can register for free and set up email alerts as well.

PS: Don't trust the "Server Status" monitor in WHM or cPanel. They re-scan at some ridiculous rate, so you might be looking at old information.

That is a pretty awesome service you are offering there Mark!

Thanks for the support, Jeff! I'm glad you think so. I'm pretty excited about it!
