Very off topic, but it reminded me of a windows2000 box I used to run as an
ftp server that when shut down once a week, would automatically start itself
again between 7 and 8 am the next day.

Hi,

I have a debian box which (I'm guessing) tends to restart after periods of
idleness.

If I'm logged in and am away for a length of time (over two hours) I come
back and I'll be looged out.

What do I have to check to find out what's happening? (if I'm not just
losing my mind)


A second question:
How can I turn services I don't need off.
Things like the printer deamon, apache ... and what ever else is happening
behind the scenes I don't need.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks
Mark.
