it was the server spiraling down for no obvious reason, and the hoster for not reacting from friday night until this noon.
i wrote 5 emails (saturday early moning {but not very specific}, saturday noon, sunday noon, one early this morning and one this noon). 3 times they send an acknowlegment, one time they realy did restet the server...
for the server it is not an option to stay on that hardware/software for much longer. there has allready been one (shorter) outage last week and Nova is in search of a new hoster (problem: setup fee's).
I will _try_ to track the real cause, something can't malloc memory, there is one GB of RAM and supposed Stefan fixed the memory leak in relabot there should be no software eating it up, but i'm no exert for irc servers, so if anyone knows of dos attacks against the IRC or other servers we use, please tell me (or all of us) your suspicions, it is better to hunt shadows that waiting for the next dead time.
