It just starts up, then in a short while of 5-10s, it goes down again. And it keeps repeating this cycle!

This goes on till about midnight that day. Then the application resumes working by itself with no problem at all. Log files of the application was sent to the vendor but the vendor said that was nothing wrong with the application, and so right now, the vendor was suspecting whether certain patches has a underlaying period of inactivity before activation.

Just wondering if any one out there has experience such issues before, please share your 2 cents worth. Thanks.
check all the crontabs, remove the patches in dev, see what happens... what is the vendor product?

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris	exists	only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
       details.
