Travis you selfish bas!ard, you snuck out out of the building to have some sort of a life didn't you ?

OK Matthew, kicking the server really is not working so well these days. I suggest you try kicking the computer lab staff!
If they are bigger than you, feel free to use a bat :P

/OK back to my live ROV feeds.

Every time a staff member kicks server, it gets broken sooner. Maybe all it needs a love? or a Xeon CPU he can make love to? so don't kick it, just love it.

Also I'm just happy to set DNETC@Home as a backup project.

Looks like the server(s) have been working and dishing out work for a few hours now. Just need to NNT Collatz and run a 5 hour cache down then MW resumes.

bundesagentur für arbeitspakete translates to:
Federal department for work packages.

Now that's funny :-)

It was nearly Aaargh! again a couple of hours ago this morning. The validator seemed to be building up and the "Ready to send" read ZERO!

Seems to continue to be running OK ATM.

It looks like we are rapidly heading to a new Aaargh session according to the current server status.

The work ready to send had dropped well below it's normal levels (now = 304). But it does seem to be increasing slightly.

But the real give away is the numbers awaiting the validator - now 23,335. When we are running normally this is around 6,300.

Are we getting ready for the chorus - HELP! Please get ready to kick the servers?

Definitely moved to Aaarrrrggghhhh!

The work ready is now ZERO and the "waiting-for-validation" has risen to over 30K

I realize others have suggested this in the past, but it seems that either a bit of serious root cause identification/resolution effort ought to be done, or, alternatively, a automatic stop/restart process (perhaps once a week) to clear things out (or even daily off hours to insure no more than single day outages) needs to be in place.

By the way, since duplicate posts are subject to filtering, shouldn't duplicate outages also be dealt with? <just joking>

A preemptive server reboot daily or every 48hrs sounds like a good idea!

The best and fastest way to get someone to restart the validator is to send an email to astro@cs.rpi.edu because all 11 administrators receive it. I have already sent an email this time.

I do not believe they monitor these forums on a regular basis. Last time I sent an email, they thanked me for reporting it even though the validator had been down for over 6 hours.
