This what I found when I check at 11.15 am (eastern usa)

Any ideas, I'm starting to wonder if the server isn't dropping out, because I see no-one, with these error's listed, or they are not being posted?

But I seen a server failed and was restarted automatically, one a month.I think that a reboot of the system.

Thanks.

Update : I sent the post above to my host and this is the reply:

One of the monitoring systems we have shows a spike in load sometime
between 5-5:30 this morning, how I have no way of knowing what caused
it. Based on the error messages you included, I suspect that the
failcounts in /proc/user_beancounters are more relevant to the problem.
There are a number of failcounts in the numfile limit. This is the
maximum number of files that can be opened (actively being read from or
written to) at one time. A shortage in this limit would prevent
programs from opening connections to the mysql engine. The way to be
sure would be to check the user_benacounters file afterwards if the
problem occurs again. If the failcount has increased (numfile is
currently at 504), then this would be the problem.

The mail scripts are something you can check if you wish. The email is
sent by cpanel to the administrative email address so the admin knows
what is running on the system.

Anybody got a solution ( not sure if i understand all of the answer) But they keep leaning to the directory uses to many functions call at one time. What I'm going to try is change the cron run times off the hr and more to a off time :20
Thanks
