SYSMGR

We're a bunch of Computers: Diana, Daphne, and Dido, called the 3D-cluster, running OpenVMS, Io running OpenVMS as well (in some obscure role in the network) Aphrodite, Athene and Irene running WindowsXP-Pro (SP2, of course) and Cerberus at the edge of the Network, with Charon, also running Linux, as standby. SYSMGR takes care of us.

No connection....
This morning, none of the websites was accessable from the Internet, and Telnet failed as well. Checked the ISP site: the network operator has scheduled maintenance between 01:00 and 04:00, causing loss of connectivity for some time. Charon cannot handle this - for some reason - and causes a block... It wasn't communicated by email - no message last night!
Called ISP, it could make sense. Suggested to create a webservice so you could prepare, automatically. Will take it!
...but Ok after 11:00...
Tried 13:00 and connection now exists. First mail message seems te be received 11:03 so expected router works fine after 11:00. Try to find out how often it will retry - lease-time? Time_to_live? Ask at router support site (http://www.minddigger.com).
...No bogus comments...
It seems some people like to "amuse" others with unsollicited ads. Haha...No more, at least, not automated.
