Random crashes FMS18.0.4.428 on Mac 10.13.6`

[DataCruncher]

Hello, 

 

my FMS18 instances generally run very stably. With one exception: On two different machines, randomly, but always around midnight, FMS will crash in a very weird way. 

I'm running FMS 18.0.4.428

- All networking on the MacOS instance will work just normally

- However, all FMS functions will suddenly be completely unavailable. That includes FMP connections; XML and API connections; webdirect connection - even the admin website is unavailable. 

- I can't even restart it from the command line- fmsadmin start or stop server only yields 'Error: 10502 (Host unreachable). 

 

The only thing that fixes it, temporarily, is a hard reboot. 

 

With FMS 15 and even FMS12 running very reliably, in some instances for years, this is very unacceptable. Has anybody run into similar issues? What can I check to investigate further? 

 

This is what my Event.log shows:
