If this is Ubuntu, I would check for "unattended upgrades" package: <a href="https://documentation.ubuntu.com/server/how-to/software/automatic-updates/">https://documentation.ubuntu.com/server/how-to/software/automatic-updates/</a> as this service WILL unexpectedly restart services. Generally speaking, unattended upgrades are a very bad idea because things may break during an update and a human needs to be in attendance so that they might be fixed in a timely fashion (actually, upgrades should first be tested in a lab environment if you want to be really safe).</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you,</div><div>Darren Ankney</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Oct 3, 2025 at 6:43 PM Corby Stephens via Kea-users <<a href="mailto:kea-users@lists.isc.org">kea-users@lists.isc.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="msg2727666663931135578">
