Hi, I need to perform some emergency server maintenence today on the hardware that hosts the gnucash SVN, Email, Wiki, etc server. I need to replace the CPU fan(s) that are causing a temperature alarm. This will require a short service outage. I need to go aquire the fans this morning and then I can go install them. I expect the outage to last no more than 30 minutes. However, I was already planning to perform some software maintenence on the server which was going to require a reboot... So I'm going to try to get them to coincide. However, the software updates will take several hours before it's ready for the reboot, so I might have to reboot the server additional times. I'll send out email before I shutdown the system, and I'll send another email when it's back up. Progress updates will be discussed on IRC.

This hardware maintenence is complete. However I still plan to perform some software maintenence which will also require a reboot of the server. I plan the reboot to happen later tonight. I'll coordinate on IRC with the exact time. -derek Derek Atkins <warlord at MIT.EDU> writes:> Hi, > > I need to perform some emergency server maintenence today on the > hardware that hosts the gnucash SVN, Email, Wiki, etc server.
