Server had an unscheduled restart.

Restart? Am Sure Ben said it had been down since around 8am!

Oh an angry Nick...*slowly back away*

Was this similar to the downtime a couple of weeks ago?

nick its ok we all took refuge in funkypool and preached about how much better this site is so no worries

Apparently server was switched off while they fixed the memory in a neighbouring machine, and this was repeated the next day as the fix didn't work.

However funkysnooker should automatically start up when server is switched off, this was failing (however should be working now).

In any case I wasn't notified about server being restarted, so I'll be moving funkysnooker to a more reliable server after the contract is up.

okay thanks for the notification nick

Apologies for the downtime, seems they're still fixing a neighbouring machine.

Also the script to automatically bring up the server failed. and needs to be fixed.

Ok thanks for letting us know mate!

Thanks for the info Nick; it helps a lot knowing why these things happen.

Sounds like the server is hosted by our IT dept

(only joking, if any of you are watching!)
