xinetd exiting every day at same time - qmail won't restart

Hello,

I am running Plesk Reloaded 7.5 Reloaded on a dedicated server. I upgraded recently the server with a yum update

Every morning at 03:22AM, I get this message :

Oct 26 03:22:52 flex xinetd[4161]: Exiting...

Oct 26 03:22:54 flex qmail: Starting qmail: succeeded
Oct 26 03:22:57 flex qmail: qmail-send shutdown succeeded

I checked all the logs and I really don't see what would cause xinetd to exit.

I run WatchDog on mail services, and I get constantly notified that qmail fails and then qmail passes.

But by checking the process status, I see no qmail-send or qmail-remote

I have to restart qmail-smtpd manually.

Any solution to this strange problem taking place at the same time of the day ?
 
WatchDog is a dog. Uninstall it. The only known problem with it which Plesk fixed is with it corrupting Spamassassin. But it is still buggy as hell.
