Hi Andy,
 
I'm running Debian Lenny. (I know I should have upgraded by now!)
 
I have done a scan of the logs of main servers - apache, postfix, Bind, mysql. I have looked at syslog but from when the issue arose in the morning to when I did the destroy, there are no entries. I have just noticed, though that before the "crash" awstats tried unsuccessfully to update log analysis 3 or 4 times. That could be either cause or effect

Which distro are you running?
Which files have you looked at in /var/log ?
