Urgh, yes. I'm very unhappy that we had issues that caused four wakeups so far this month; usually the nightly odds are 1:30. As I'm sure you know, your previous situation was not well-run. If there are really 20 issues per night needing attention, they needed a dedicated third shift. -dsr- _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
