Eclipse Virgo shutdown for no reason on EC2

Question

I'm having a problem of a clean install of Eclipse Virgo (3.5) shutting down apparently for no reason once it's started on a Ubuntu image 12.04 on Amazon EC2. I'm starting Virgo from SSH, startup works fine but after some hours the server stops, the log report the following (see the third line):

These are the server properties

• Java VM Description: Oracle Corporation(OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM) 23.2-b09
• Java Version: Oracle Corporation 1.7.0_09
• Operating System: Linux(amd64) 3.2.0-31-virtual Server
• Time Zone: Etc/UTC Virgo
• Server Version: 3.5.0.RELEASE

Any idea or suggestion? Thanks!

@Tarelli cross-posted this on the Virgo community forum, and the cause was found

The problem was when his SSH connection closed after being idle for long enough, the Virgo process started from SSH also closed.
