I have a new PC with 9.10 desktop . It's running Zoneminder.
For some reason it will not run more than 24 hours with out locking up .
It's set up stand alone with no screen or keyboard.
I hacked the vga port with 3 resistors so remote desktop works. I did this on 2 other systems and it always works fine.

I want to ask where can I look in the logs to try and find out why this beast dies after just before 24 hours of run time.

/var/log/messages would be where I start. If you know what time it crashed, you can grep out the log files:

grep -H 12:34 *.log

I found system logs in administration.
In there I found Nullmailer errors every 2 seconds. ( Uninstalled Nulmailer. ) Things seemed to be running good so for now I disabled the log services as well.
