Software watchdog & full process table

[Chris <chris@ormond.unimelb.edu.au>]

Hi,

One of our network servers went down for reboot in the middle of last
night, which was done by the software watchdog.

The log message was as follows:

daemon.log:Apr 10 03:15:44 seldon watchdog[102]: process table is full!
daemon.log:Apr 10 03:15:44 seldon watchdog[102]: shutting down the system


Does anyone know what does this mean, and what would cause this to happen?
Is there anyway to determine what was happening on the machine?


Thanks for any assistance,

Chris
