Server crash

[DJet]

Really sorry, - but our trusty old server crashed in a bad way yesterday.

It still responded to the basics, which ment I couldn't simply engage the spare server, but had to wait until people got into the office, and rebooted it.

Thanks again Lennart.

[Barry]

Thanks Lennert

Our only worry was that somebody who could fix it knew that it was down.
Have a good weekend.

Ok both arms are sewn back on now, thanks.

I was a bit worried that "the last one is switching the light off" was meant personally. 

Thanks very much Lennart.

Good Work Djet.

Just FYI  I was using it as the server started to fail.  One of the errrors came back "Too Many Open Files"

Any rough idea how many users where logged in at that time ?

No.  From the flakey way it was responding I wonders if it was a DoS attack.

It's a Denial of Service attack. wikipedia has some more info here

For goodness sake Peter, if you're going to sit at home all day the least you can do is bring yourself up to date technologically

Sorry Peter,  I forgot this is not a forum for TechnoBabble. 

Needless to say the message was not ment for general consumption.

But for Djet and those that know.

You will have to make up for it next year Peter.

I am sure that there will be a toast to absent friends at the Poo Bar
