My friend made me an account, didn't set any limits on the number of background processes. The tech didn't see anything of that nature on the server.

Okies But I'm convinced there's a setting that is not set properly. I'll try and figure it out from my end also.

only way to figure it out if there's nothing in the logs is to watch it when it actually happens with strace -p #pid

may need root to watch an strace stack output

This appears to be some screwed up setting at your providers end; along the lines of when an account exceeds the number of bg's assigned to it and is autokilled.

I changed the conf file to save logs at midnight. Also, removed all third party scripts from the conf file and it still auto-kills itself, just left the default loaded scripts in the conf file. I checked to make sure all paths are correct.

eggdrop is also switching logfiles by default at 3am.
if you recently moved to another server, there could be a incorrect complete path somewhere that mess things up, possibly one related to logfile.

I couldn't find the DEBUG file in the main directory of my bot.

the DEBUG report should appear as filename "DEBUG" (thats why I wrote it that way @_o) in the main directory of your bot.

you should check wich special events are triggered there. some modules like stats.mod reset the daily stats at this time (3:00 am). have you checked if a DEBUG report is created? if so, it might contain addional informations.

This never happened before though, only started to happen after I moved to another server. How do I check for a DEBUG report? I also made sure all paths are correct.

This is really baffling me. ALL 5 of my eggdrops on this server auto-kills itself at around 2:45AM every single day. They are all connected by a botnet. I asked the host to check why and they said:

After review of your server, I am currently seeing that there is no processes killing your bots. Also, I am not seeing any cron jobs or history reports that are signifying that eggdrop has been killed.

I have not a single clue as to why all the eggdrop processes are killed daily at the same time. Anyone could help, thanks in advance.
