Oh boy, that's a big window for log scouring. I assume that there was no reboot during that time? Do you have sar collecting data? That might help to pinpoint when things changed.
Darn it.... Forgot to turn on sar
yum -y install sysstat -

When I was running Screen Connect on Linux it would fail on occasion like this and I would just download the Tar file and reinstall over the top and it would usually get it going again.

Yes, please do! Also, do you recommend windows instead of linux? If so, Why?

Keep in mind he's a full time Windows engineer that doesn't use Linux.

Sadly, for the most part I am too. Trying to break into linux but.....

Finding issues like this and pushing through to find answers is a great way to learn a lot about it quickly.

That's why I haven't given up yet!

CentOS logs are in /var/logs/messages
At least most logs are. /var/logs is the logging directory. Nearly everything goes into the "messages" catch all. But there are specific logs too for NginX, Apache (HTTPD), ScreenConnect, etc.
Both Directorys are missing? WTF?

irrelevant though to reporting back the definition of "on occasion" as it pertains to the controller in question.

[root@screenconnect ~]# cd /var/logs/messages
-bash: cd: /var/logs/messages: No such file or directory
[root@screenconnect ~]# cd /var/logs
-bash: cd: /var/logs: No such file or directory -

That's EXTREMELY odd. There is no /var/log at all?
Sorry, I typod. /var/log not logs

This maybe?
/etc/rc.d/init.d/screenconnect-1227cf7eaca84600: line 109: java: command not found -
So you have messages for most things and screenconnect for specific stuff. I'd start with those two.

/etc/rc.d/init.d/screenconnect-1227cf7eaca84600: line 109: java: command not foundThat could do it. Do this...
find / -name java -
[root@screenconnect log]# find / -name java
/etc/pki/java
/etc/pki/ca-trust/extracted/java
[root@screenconnect log]# -
Looks like Java is missing. No idea how that happened.
-
@scottalanmiller Security update? lol.
-
Well you can't argue that Java isn't a lot more secure now!
-
I would start here and see if this works...
yum -y install javaLet's experiment. This will install the open source Java replacement that Red Hat ships natively.
