Hello all,
while I was killing some bot-processes on willow to reduce the high load I accidentally pressed return too early and killed a random number of processes with that. I restarted the system-processes, but I am not sure if everything is completely right. Just to be sure I hereby announce a reboot for tomorrow,
Monday, 19:05 UTC.
Willow will be away for some minutes. Please notice that the history shows that cron on solaris does not start all processes during the reboot, so you should check after the reboot if everything works. Please notice that in a few minutes the new "no bots without SGE"-rule ([1]) becomes active, so please make sure that your bot uses SGE or I might disable it.
I have no idea how many user-processes were killed, but I'm sorry that it did happen nevertheless.
Sincerely, DaB.
