Issues with dropping services

I’ve built my own start9 a few years ago with my own hardware and its been running great, since I switched to bitcoin knots I’m having issues with it always dropping out RPC and syncing are the issue, runs for 5-20 mintues then drops out, all my other services drop out because of this issue. please advise!

What does “drop out” mean in this context? Stop running? What did the logs say was happening?

runCommand error: system(curl -s -m5 http://datum.embassy:7152/NOTIFY) returned 1536

thats when bitcoin knots RPC drops out

I don’t know how this could be a thing. If you can make this not happen with Core (easy to switch over) than that would be something.

I’m still not clear on what “bitcoin knots RPC drops out” means.
