Hi,

Receiving following errors and it puts server in lag and finally services server get disconnected. Appreciate if you could advise how to resolve the issue.
*** WARNING: Time jumped ~328 seconds ahead! (1510040862 -> 1510041190)
*** Incorrect time for IRC servers is a serious problem. Time being adjusted (either by TSCTL or by resetting the clock) more than a few seconds forward/backward can lead to serious issues.
*** Please be sure your clock is always synchronized before the IRCd is started or use the built-in timesynch feature.
*** [TimeShift] Resetting some timers!

Most likely the WARNING regarding the time jump is a result of <<something>> on your machine. So not related to UnrealIRCd.
So:
1. <<something>> makes your machine stall / slow down incredibly
2. this causes a huge server lag + WARNING about time jump + likely other things with any other daemons running besides UnrealIRCd

Personally, I'd look at syslog and check metrics / monitoring systems and such, but that is beyond UnrealIRCd help :)
