Hello all, Once again a bug has reared its ugly head on my machine. Tonight, around 00:48Z, my machine inexplicably crashed. No logs telling me of any problems...it was as if someone had simply unplugged the machine, and then rebooted. This is not the first time. Whenever I feed IDS|DDPLUS from flood.atmos.uiuc.edu or f5.meteor.wisc.edu, it crashes. Feeding from weather.cod.edu, no problem...feeding from UNIDATA, no problem. I'm wondering if they are still on 6.0X? In any case, I am now feeding from atm.geo.nsf.gov. COD is going down for a power upgrade at the school, knocking them off line over the holiday, mainly Friday. So I switched this afternoon around 2 PM to flood.atmos.uiuc.edu. That lasted 4 hours before the machine halted and rebooted. I'm running fedora Core 1 from redhat. 3 GHZ processor, less than 25% hard drive space used. 1.5 GB RAM. >From address@hidden Thu Nov 25 19:50:09 2004 Hello all, It couldn't have been more coincidental to fool me. A long time problem I thought that hadn't been fixed, may be fixed after all. Weather3 crashed again without warning last night. So I came in Thanksgiving evening to restart it. But after 5 minutes, the UPS beeped loudly, and the thing died. The UPS battery is dead. ARRRGH! I just plugged in the machine into another non-battery backed-up outlet (but surge protected) on the UPS. It's working now, apparently. D'oh! ******************************************************************************* Gilbert Sebenste ******** (My opinions only!) ****** Staff Meteorologist, Northern Illinois University **** E-mail: address@hidden *** web: http://weather.admin.niu.edu ** Work phone: 815-753-5492 * *******************************************************************************
