Services stop working between 3 & 4am

Hi

I am a newbie to PiStar so please bear with me. I am using the PiStar image on a Pi 4 to control an Icom R2PC D-Star based repeater GB7HU.

All works OK except that overnight, just after 0300 UTC the D-Star repeater stops working. Any linked reflector is dropped.

I can recover operation by going into the main configuration and clicking on the apply changes button in the D-Star configuration section. I don't actually make any changes to the configuration.

The services can be seen stopping and restarting and then normal operation resumes until just after 3am the next day.

Can anyone suggest a fix for this behaviour?

Thanks

Normally that is about when the nightly updates are run -- which shut down all services at the start.

But, also normally, the last step of the update cycle is to restart the services. If you are getting red service indications on the dashboard/admin page, you may need to start examining the log files for something that is not properly taking place at that time.
