Unannounced Downtime

[The Sandman]

TAZ was down for about an hour for some server maintenance. The expected downtime was less, but the server had been up for 666 days and some kind of evil was unleashed during the reboot. Anyhow, all sorted now.

Welcome back! I noticed it was down when I tried to visit an hour ago.

I had actually looked to see if you guys had a FB or Twitter to see what was going on.

I take it that the server wasn't hacked or anything? Just software that decided not to start?

He was making a funny. 666 = number of the beast = evil unleashed.

No, the downtime had nothing to do with any hacking or exploits - it was an issue rebooting into the kernel that MattW had to deal with manually.

And I wasn't kidding about the 666 days uptime:

uptime 15:47:31 up 666 days,  1:16,  2 users,  load average: 0.35, 0.38, 0.35

Well it's good thing that's behind us! Once again, great job MattW
