I use the Pi Musicbox on my RPI2B.

Sometimes the device suddenly stops working. At that point I cannot reach the device using the web interface, MPD-app and SSH.

I did put logging on DEBUG and I do not see any warnings or abnormal debug-messages before the device stops working. It is like it suddenly doesn’t exist anymore.

Unplugging and replugging power solves it,

Same for monit.log (see below):  
[CEST Sep 3 01:17:25] error : Error: Could not execute /etc/init.d/ntp  
[CEST Sep 3 01:17:56] error : ‘ntpd’ failed to start

The logfile “boot” and several files in the “samba” folder have activity a few minutes before it all went silent.

boot: [http://pastebin.com/9HtibGCA](http://pastebin.com/9HtibGCA)

Is there anything I can do to provide more info end/or solve this?

(Many thanks for your answer)

NB: I am a bit of a NOOB when it concerns linux and logfiles.

Is it using wifi? In my limited experience, problems with music dropping out are quite often caused by a duff wifi adapter.

No wifi-adapter in my pi. All is cabled.  
It should also not stop logging when only the network is unplugged.
