Hi All,
I tried to update my Squeak image today, and found that source.squeak.org is down. On box2 I found that it's using all the cpu. Based on the apachelogs it went down 7-8 hours ago. I decided to restart it. svc -t didn't kill the image (nor did -k), instead it spawned another image, so I stopped svc, killed the process manually, and restarted it with svc. The image is up now, but I wonder if there's anything else to do when a SqueakSource image goes down.
I don't know all the details on the source.squeak.org configuration, but based on my experience with squeaksource.com on box3, the only real concern is that recent updates to user accounts and other image resident information may get lost. The image should be saving itself regularly, and file uploads are resident on disk and will be recovered. Most likely nothing was lost at all, although a note to squeak-dev announcing the outage is a good idea.
Whenever we move source.squeak.org to box4 (hopefully soon, if Chris Muller and I manage to get ourselves motivated), I will try to get better educated on this before the next outage.
Thank for restarting it,
Dave
