Now there are three of them definitely doing it! Two more did it this 
morning while I sat here.

/var/log in two of them includes boot.log, boot.log.1, as well as .2,.3, 
and .4; the other (which I was sure of yesterday) has only boot.log. The 
fourth, an old P2 which has so far *not* been having the problem, has 
boot.log and boot.log.1

Are those the logs I want to look in? And for what?

uptime for the three with problems lists times of around an hour; for the 
old P2, it says 6 1/2 days.

Dunno if this is relevant. I make a habit, whenever I think of it 
(probably two or three times a week; oftener when I've just installed a 
brand-new release), of running a sequence of commands consisting of "yum 
clean all" followed by "rpm --rebuilddb," then "updatedb," and finally 
"yum update."

The strangest thing is that my main machine, which pulled the trick this 
morning, is still running FC6.

We have had a few short (like under 10-second) power glitches here 
lately; but all the machines are on UPSs, which barely managed to beep 
once. What's more, the main machine, which rebooted spontaneously for the 
first time this morning, is on the same UPS as the old P2, which did not.

One of these UPSs (an APC Back-UPS RS 1500) is only a month or two old. 
Another (an APC Back-UPS 650) has some age on the battery, but has shown 
no more sign of unhappiness than the others. The third (an APC Back-UPS 
Pro 650) has some age on its present second battery, but has also not 
complained.
