[arm-allstar] Rpi 3B Lockup Problem

Good Morning Everyone!

Here's a fun for you.

Last Friday/Saturday I flashed the (at the time) most recent Hamvoip 
image to my Rpi 3B. Over the last week everything ran great. Got 
everything configured the way I wanted and had no issues. At least until 
last night/today.

Last Night I got home and noticed on Allmon that it could not connect to 
Asterisk Manager on my node. Ok, no big deal, so I tried to ssh in to 
restart asterisk and it wouldn't let me connect. So I checked a couple 
of other things (which I will note below in a second) and just pulled 
the power on the Pi and plugged it back in. It rebooted and everything 
looked ok.

This morning I get into Allmon and it's again telling me that it can't 
connect. I try to ssh in and same thing. No dice. Unfortunately I am at 
work right now and my wife is not home till later so I can't unplug the Pi.

After some checking both today and last night, here is where I stand:

- I can't ssh into the Pi
- The Node is not showing active on the Allstarlink status pages
- It is however connected and showing active on Echolink
- Zoiper is able to connect from my phone
- Iaxrpt is able to connect from my pc
- I can connect to Echolink nodes, but not to Allstar nodes.
         - It seems it is logged into Echolink and not Allstar
- APRS is not beaconing
- From Zoiper/Iaxrpt I can send macro commands and connect commands 
(again only connecting to echolink nodes) and a few other random 
commands like ID and stuff, but I cannot get the time commands to work 
nor can I turn Autosky on or off for example.
- I do not have a command setup yet to reboot the node from DTMF (Hadn't 
had a chance to get that setup yet)

My setup
- Raspberry Pi 3B
- The (up until today) most recent Hamvoip image
- It's a virtual Node with no radios or sound fobs connected.
- running headless
- I am not running broadcastify

My gut says OS crash, but not a full crash so. I just hope there is not 
something running away on the Pi that will burn it out. I have a backup 
of my config files on my computer so if need be I can re-flash and go 
(which I may still do). I had not yet been able to image my SD card for 
a backup. I am just wondering what could be causing this so I can avoid 
it in the future.

Any ideas? And go!

Thanks in advance for any help and insight you all can share!
