Greetings, gentlemen! A mystery to spice up your life? It certainly spiced up mine.
I am running FreeBSD 13.4 on a Dell Wyse 3040 thin client. It's used as a camera controller, and it runs this simple shell script:
The problem? It resets the computer. There is no shutdown warning, no error message, no kernel panic. Just BAM, it's down. I tried it several times, and it always happened. Sometimes immediately, sometimes after several minutes.
According to htop, CPU usage is around 30-35%. RAM usage is around 50%.
There is 1.5 GB free storage, so it's far from full. Even if it was full, it wouldn't just abruptly reset.
The CPU is not overheating at all. I can touch the CPU cooler, and it's barely as warm as my hand. (It has no active cooling.)
There is nothing in `/var/logs/messages`. Only this:
I tried to change the output directory, and also the location of the text file which contains a text overlay. It didn't help, this damn thing still resets.
I found some examples of the same thing happening on some Linux systems. There aren't any answers, just vague suggestions that the CPU might be overheating. I would bet these guys witnessed the same thing as I just did.

Why does my system shut down when running ffmpeg?
I am converting mp4 to ogg for many videos with ffmpeg but at some point during this process, my computer is shutting down. Any idea why or how I can prevent this?

Why can ffmpeg cause a reboot?
Four times in a row, when I started a short simple ffmpeg command on my Ubuntu host, after about ten seconds it rebooted cleanly. Nothing appeared in /var/log/syslog. The fourth time, I ran it in...
