'Centos 7 - httpd service fails once every 5 days with status code 254/n/a

That's weird because it happens only once every 5 nights.

I have a cron job which restarts httpd service every night, but I'm receiving this error once every 5 nights.

Apr 24 04:33:03 system systemd: httpd.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=254/n/a
Apr 24 04:33:03 system systemd: Unit httpd.service entered failed state.
Apr 24 04:33:03 system systemd: httpd.service failed.

And this is my script to restart httpd

...

/usr/sbin/httpd -k restart

...

I've checked permissions of /tmp folder and it all looks good.

  File: ‘/tmp’

And this is what i found in error_log of httpd.
