Unexpected server restart

[Deleted member 58333]

Dear FreeBSD users,

I am running a VPS and this one rebooted unexpectedly last night. What I am seeing in /var/log/message:

Jul 26 22:45:03 ctb-vps01 kernel: , 817.
Jul 26 22:45:03 ctb-vps01 ntpd[752]: ntpd exiting on signal 15 (Terminated)

I don't know which event cause this reboot. What is the signification of the numerical code at the end of the line
Jul 26 22:45:03 ctb-vps01 kernel: , 817. ?

That just looks like a mangled (kernel) message. As other things failed too, it's probably something that went wrong on the hosting side of things. There's about a minute (~70 sec.) between the last message (syslogd: exiting on signal 15) and the system starting up (kernel boot file is ...), so maybe it got shutdown (ACPI poweroff) and turned on again.

Yes you're right, they migrate my VPS on another physical location. This was planed for September but it seems they chose to do it now without notification.
