[Neolith-users] Re: Neolith and Kappa downtime 2010-06-22 08:00-18:00 CEST

[Mats Kronberg]

A short status update:

Neolith was restarted at 11:55 CEST and is running jobs normally.

Kappa is still not available, we have some more things to change in the
job scheduler, but we hope to have it back up later this evening.
