There's a strange problem that I'm facing with my RedHat 7.2 Server. It runs services like ssh, httpd and ftp.

Many times it happens that when the Server is left in disuse for some time, it refuses connections to remote clients on all the services. When I go and do anything on it (like simply logging in and logging out), its starts behaving properly.

I suspect that it may be because of the power-saving mode. Could anyone please point out something that can be done about the situation? Is there any way to bring it out of poersaving mode remotely? (If the cause is indeed power-saving)
