Hello,
Nginx stop every once in a while (usually weekly, but there is no fixed period) at the same time, 6:25 AM. At this same time (6:25 AM) there is scheduled a cron.daily
I´m using the latest virtualmin version with Ubuntu 18.04. Everything with the deafult packages.
Here is the var/log/syslog after 6:25 AM:

I have 2 server with the same configuration and it happens in both - at the same time. Reading some other posts in this forum, some people suspect it is the logrotate.
Digging the logration, there is a log file with title "/var/log/apache2/*.log" with the post-rotation command:
if invoke-rc.d apache2 status > /dev/null 2>&1; then \
invoke-rc.d apache2 reload > /dev/null 2>&1; \
fi;
Please, I need help. And some direction. Thank you, Luiz
Also, there is a post-rotation command "service nginx restart" for every domain I host. And there is 12 domain hosted on the server.
I think there is something related to the syslog message "nginx.service: Start request repeated too quickly."
Not tested, but I think this thread answer my problem. https://www.virtualmin.com/node/40405
I have similar problem. Debain 9.5. Nginx Webmin version 1.894
Usermin version 1.741 Virtualmin version 6.04
I seems every week problem.
please have a look and see if you have I have similar problem.
please have a look and see if you have

have you found a solution?
any other experienced webmin/virtualin users?
OK i have used
System Settings -> Server Templates -> Default Settings -> Log file rotation, is Yes in my config
I used following commands:
virtualmin disable-feature --logrotate --all-domainsvirtualmin enable-feature --logrotate --all-domains
I can confirm that it solved a problem.
