Partial Shutdown on Saturday, April 30th
Facility Services has announced that air conditioning to Hamilton Hall will be turned off from 6:00 am to 4:30 pm on Saturday, April 30th. In order to prevent damage from overheating, we will be shutting down most systems in the server room on Friday afternoon: this means bayes, gosset, freesurface, etc.
I will leave the main file/web/mail server up, but if the room starts getting too hot I will shutdown everything but web services (no email, no workstations, no changes to the web server).
Announcement from FS follows...
