over the past few days, when i try to login to my server via webgui: https://mydomain.com:10000
i get error no connection.
i ssh to box, and execute
[root@myhost log]# /etc/init.d/webmin stop
Stopping Webmin server in /usr/libexec/webmin
/etc/webmin/stop: line 4: kill: (7232) - No such process
[root@myhost log]# /etc/init.d/webmin start
[root@myhost log]#
Note when I try to stop there is no process.
If this just happened once I wouldn't be too worried about it, but it's happened 3 times over the past 2-3 days.
What logs should I be looking at to see why webmin stopped?
Thank you

Howdy -- the most common cause of processes stopping, such as what you're seeing there, is a resource issue.
For example, if memory runs low, the Linux kernel will kill services in order to free up RAM.
Are you using a dedicated serveer, or a VPS? If it's a VPS, what type of VPS is it?
Also, what's the output of this command:
free -mSubmitted by responsiveny on Thu, 07/03/2014 - 11:28 Comment #2
[root@myhost log]# free -mtotal used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 996 804 191 0 21 120
-/+ buffers/cache: 662 333
Swap: 0 0 0
Is there a log that shows the cause?

It looks like you have about 1GB of RAM, and much of that is used. Your server doesn't appear to have any swap.
I do suspect that's your issue -- most likely your system ran low on RAM, and killed the Webmin process to free up some RAM.
We'd suggest making more RAM available on your server -- you could do that either by adding RAM, or by reducing the number of services running on your server.
