You did good!  With the present computers I have, a reboot is the first thing I have to do, fixes it every time….   Dennis

Subject: Re: [MCARC] 444.350 repeater update

For those who did not get on the net last night or were not able to log

in via AllStar or Echolink, there was no communication between the

repeater controller and the Raspberry Pi computer that does all of the

Internet linking stuff.

Well, it looks like Murphy got into the Raspberry Pi and hosed a few

things up!  After sleeping on it I recall that the load average (a value

the Linux system computes for how busy the system is) was quite high,

around 1.17.  Normally it runs about 0.17 or so, so something was stuck.

About a half hour ago I logged in and the load average was 2.40.  Ouch!

Fortunately, I was still able to log in remotely and manage the system.

I decided to see if a reboot would clear things up and it did.  I have

heard the AllStar and weather (AutoSky) announcements that are made when

the system starts.  I have also tested both AllStar and Echolink from my

phone and both systems are working and passing audio both directions.

Whew!

The computer's up time was something over 392 days which was the last

time I rebooted it and that was when setting up Echolink last year.

That's really quite amazing for a computer with a physical footprint a

little larger than a credit card.

Thankfully it appears that nothing was knocked out of place and a trip

to the site will not be necessary.  It is something I'll need to keep an

eye on, though.

73, Nate
