UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users

hi all,

i have problem with my box,
until now i can't investigate the root cause of my issue at my box.
here the problem.
i have a box as a squid server just forward all request packet from one interface and receive the packet then forward to client at the same interface. but after 5 hours i can't remote that box using ssh. i try enter the server by monitoring console. then i find ssh running all not, i found ssh shown running well, then i make a argue that problem come from interface. maybe the kernel block the interface because to much packet use the interface, until now my suggestion just reboot the server directly, i need some guide from you unix expert to solve my issue.

I have a plan to make a script to monitoring ssh port connection, so every 1 hours will chech ssh can or can't at the server if can't will restart. please guide me about this script.

Thanks and BR

Did you look at your netstat to see if it not some FIN_WAIT etc... issue?
