I'm a pretty competent Linux user but this is baffling me. My RN104 turns itself on one a month around the 10th of each month (if the NAS is turned off). What is triggering this? I cannot find a setting on the web UI. I don't have Wake-on-LAN on, nor do I have any Wake-on-LAN demons on the network... so it's not that. It has been doing this for over a year, and currently it's running 6.10.0 HotFix 2.

Hi booboo59, to get more info about a potential power issue I would do the following: Case1: If the nas is currently hooked up to a ups, around the evening of the 9th of a month I would disconnect it from the ups and directly hook it up to a power outlet in the wall. Then see what happens on the 10th. Case2: If the nas is currently NOT hooked up to a ups, try one. There are cheap models from APC, which are very reliable. I'm using several Back-UPS ES 700 and have virtually no power issues at all. Good luck with fixing and kind regards

Retired_Member is thinking it is power related. If the power fails on the circuit, the NAS will boot when it is restored. So that is a possibility (though it does seem unlikely that this would happen so regularly).

The NAS is connected to a UPS but doesn't have the UPS USB/Serial connected, nor the UPS settings enabled. The UPS is serving another computer that is on 100% of the time and it doesn't reboot on the 10th, so I don't currently suspect the UPS having a "hiccup" on that date. I think I will move the NAS off the UPS and see if that fixes it though.

What are the log entries just before and after the event?

Log looks like this, which is why I've been suspecting some linux service but I cannot find it: Mar 11, 2019 11:02:35 PM System: The system is shutting down. Mar 11, 2019 09:29:13 PM System: ReadyNASOS background service started. Feb 11, 2019 08:26:31 PM System: The system is shutting down. Feb 09, 2019 09:05:47 PM System: ReadyNASOS background service started. Jan 09, 2019 09:03:30 PM System: The system is shutting down. Jan 09, 2019 08:06:32 PM System: ReadyNASOS background service started.
