Machine Availability

 

All computers run by the CSL are available in the labs15-20 hours a day, usually from approximately 7:00a.m. to approximately 1:00a.m., seven days a week. The machines are actually on 24 hours a day, so you can telnet any time, but beware that they are rebooted every night around 3:00 a.m. The CSL's primary objective is to keep these machines in a usable state all the times. To further this goal, the CSL occasionally needs exclusive access to a machine, rendering it unavailable. Machine downtime will be advertised in the message of the day (/etc/motd gets printed when you log in) and also in msgs with at least 24 hours advance notice.
