Hi,
every day, early in the morning at 0400, the openfire deamon stops and starts with a delay of 15 seconds via a cronjob. This worked out quite well for about a couple of weeks, but this morning the deamon was down and doesn’t start anymore. Even manually i wasn’t able to start the deamon.
I looked here an there but all seems normal, but finally i found the file openfire.xml that changed into openfire.xml.tmp. Changing the file back to openfire.xml gets the deamon back online. But why this file changed? Maybe someone could tell me why? I noticed this behaviour after the latest update of openfire several months ago.
Further i looked at my nohup.out and found something interesting:

and after another couple of lines:

I don’t know if this is caused by the hang this morning or if these are older messages but it sounds strange anyway.
If some could tell me more about the change of openfire.xml and the results of my printed logfiles i’ll be very grateful
