TGs 91 and 31656 are frequent "offenders" - there is heavy traffic in both for long periods of time each day, so overflows here are not surprising.

But they come and go; perhaps a minute or two of overflows one day and then several days later a lengthy stream of hits. Unpredictable.

I like your idea of using the Hat reset process to see if it can stem the tides of overflows - hadn't thought of that before. I'll add that to my "tool kit" for working this problem going forward. Thanks!
Sure, I borrowed it from elsewhere anyway!

Can I put that command in cron to run automatically?

Sure! Best you create an entry in /etc/cron.daily, probably named "pistar-a..." of that it executes before the hostfile updates (files in this directory are executed in alphabetical order).

But does this process (pistar-mmdvmhshatreset) work on Pi-Zero's? Not clear here - more testing needed.
