PMS 1.13.4.5271 random stops on Centos 7.5

My plex media server seems to randomly stop with a signal 15, but nothing I see is issuing that command and the computer itself does not restart. I have to either restart the system or start PMS via command line to get everything back up. I have included the log files here, after the last restart so I could download them.

The last shutdown was the 20th, I was gone so did not notice until I got back today. Normally runs for a day or two before crashing again.

That is a commanded shutdown not a crash.

Signal 15 is coming from something external like systemd or other program/script which can locate and send PMS signals.

Interesting the shutdown time

Jul 20, 2018 07:44:04.455 [0x7f7593e0f840] DEBUG - Shutting down with signal 15

This is going to be a PITA to debug and track down. Do you have any other scripts running with root privilege ? Any custom services or customized .service definitions?

There are a few, rsnapshot runs during the night, starting at 2AM. But its logs are clear by 3am at the most. Also yum-cron runs, normally around 5AM. Other services running are Apache, postfix, dovecot, php-fcgi, bind, samba (to access the media shares), pureftp. There may be another few, but not many. The server is a match to here: https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/perfect-server-centos-7-apache-mysql-php-pureftpd-postfix-dovecot-and-ispconfig/ and here: https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/centos-plex-media-server/. With Plex being added after ISPConfig. I have then added items such as rsnapshot and samba.

My best debugging strategy at this point means to look at the logs of every single service you have running and see if any of them start, stop, restart or update around that time.
