RN104 turns on unattended
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 s...

There is a power schedule in the UI, though you'd have needed to create power on events there, since it is isn't enabled by default.
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.

Hi booboo59, you wrote "The UPS is serving another computer that is on 100% of the time..."
Would it be correct to assume, that your pc is communicating to that ups and that you have a management software installed on the pc to control/manage that communication?
If yes, I would not bet the ranch, but would speculate into the direction that management software on your pc is doing something to the ups on a regular base (once a month around the 10th?) and your nas is suffering from that.
Disregarding the outcome of your further research I would definitely change your setup as follows: Let the nas communicate to the ups and stop the pc from doing that. If necessary you can configure the ups temporarily using the pc, but ongoing communication should be between ups and nas.
Good luck with fixing and kind regards
RolandWausE, no the PC does not have UPS software (whilst the UPS is manageable, I don't use the software or USB cable).
