	Take a look at the "syslog" and/or "messages" file of your box.
Each time Linux comes up, the kernel usually logs most everything you see
during bootup. Also, run "uptime" to get a general idea as to how long
your box has been up.

	Also, do a "dmesg" to see if you are getting messages such as the
a service complaining about losing net connections or so forth. Basically,
"syslog" (or "messages") is a good place to start either way. Usually
these files can be found as /var/log/syslog, /var/log/messages, or
/usr/adm/syslog - /usr/adm/messages.
