Server Outage Journal

See our public pingdom page courtesy of Chesti

_{Every now and then I have to restart ZKLS or Springie because it stops working for one reason or another. To get a better picture of how stable the server is and what usually causes outages, I've created this journal.}

_{Please add a line here for every unplanned server outage we have with the date, duration and a short description with known or tentative causes.}

The whole machine went down and wasn't responding to RDP. Eventually it came back up again by itself.

ZKLS stopped giving out the initial info on login, instead it would slowly send 3-5 User {} messages and then close the connection. Restarting site fixed it. http://zero-k.info/Forum/Thread/22166
