Just a suggestion.. I run Jetty on a VPS with limited memory.  Due to an 
httpd on the same box being hit a lot by indexing search engines 
overnight, the machine sometimes exceeds the allocated amount of RAM, 
and the VPS management system automatically kills processes (almost at 
random, it seems).  Check your /var/log/messages for indication of 
software restarts, or run jetty with a "2>&1 >> out.log" to trap stdout 
and stderr to see if the VM reports anything as it goes down (mine often 
reported OutOfMemory as it was shut down, despite not being under load 
and using about 10Mb of 200Mb available).

Your hosting company may be able to provide more information.
