MCIS Technical Support has requested an emergency reboot of the MCIS IBM RS/6000 AIX system (Rose) to correct a problem that is tying up a system resource. The reboot should only take about 15 minutes, and will occur at approximately 5:15pm today. Services affected will include: * NetNews [unavailable on any platform] * Directory (PHonebook) [unavailable for queries & mail redirection] * E-mail Outbound e-mail from Netscape *if* configured to use SMTP Host MailFwd.MUOhio.Edu For more details on what happens when Rose is unavailable, please consult my previous posting in advance of last Monday's maintenance downtime. Sorry for the short notice -- Rose will be back in a jiffy :-) John -- Miami University John B Harlan Campus Wide Information Systems (CWIS) Coordinator Miami Computing & Information Services (MCIS) Client Services 137 Hoyt Hall Oxford, Ohio 45056-1618 (513) 529-5330 voice (513) 529-5058 fax [log in to unmask] http://miavx1.muohio.edu/~harlanjb/
