This morning for a period of time trinity and cvs were down after a power surge. Watch for any strangeness after the reboots. I really should put a battery backup on those puppies. For some reason the power supplies seem much more tempermental then my macs.

Ed:
I highly recommend putting an Uninterruptable Power Supply that uses isolated power for any system. We found out how 'bad' the power was out here when we ran a program that tracked every 'hit' that forced the UPS to go to battery power. Had over 100 'hits' in a 24 hour period. And that was during 'normal' power system operation. It is now the Monsoon season with more power problems. BTW, test the batteries of your laptops before you expect power problems, which means about once a month or so.

Thx for the info. I had a secondhand UPS, but the battery apparently was dead. The main webserver and e-mail server for neooffice.org has a very good automated powerstrip to reboot. trinity, unfortunately, has misclocked RAM (well, overclocked in the sense that its mobo can't recognize PC133, only PC100) and needs to have someone depress F1 in order for it to continue to boot. No BIOS option to turn it off.
Yet another good reason to hate the drift away from open firmware, but i digress...
The sad thing is that the uptime on trinity was 187 days. I guess I have to start working on a new record...

Great!
I think that I had an uptime record on my old OS/2 box of something over a year. Unixes are very stable (unless you have to patch them.) That's why I like my Mac and hope that MacIntel brings forth the stability everyone needs.
