source.squeak.org down - update

Well, a couple of things.

The last time source.squeak.org was down was May. At the time Ken
accessed the Hetzner robot to reboot the server. I have an email saying
he got access from Marcus.

I ssh'd into box2 and the squeakso process (seen with top -d 3) is now
<defunct>. I think this means it is now a zombie having no parent
process and that the problem can only be solved with a reboot.

Somebody needs to go to the Hetzner robot and flip the "reboot" switch.
I would also point out that is is Thanksgiving in the USA, but not in
France. I think Ken will be out of the picture for days. If somebody
could contact Marcus (he's cc'd above) to flip the switch, perhaps that
would be a solution.

Don't you guys have the root password/sudo privileges? Reboot the server from the console, no need to go to Hetzner's robot.

I've rebooted the server and am currently in the process of checking
things and trying to make some judgment about what happened.

One thing I can say is that it is likely that if anyone updated any
projects at source.squeak.org today (Nov 24th) that you should check
your work.

Thanks, Ken!

And to answer your questions in order, Rado: yes; I didn't know that I
could do that. "sudo shutdown -r now". Check. I learn something new
every day.

Chris,

no need to bother Marcus anymore. While he indeed set up and then managed our server hosting for many years (as former chair of the German Squeak users group), this year we finally transferred the server ownership to the Software Freedom Conservancy. Ken, I, and Bradley (of SFC) have access to the robot if needed.
