We will have everyone back up and running within an hour.

Sure you will. I think there’s a conspiracy. Anytime I’m trying to rev up some visitors that’s when you decided to have a meltdown. And this time, specifically on my server. Who’s behind this? Was it Nixon?

The slickest way is to use “top” (you will have to log into your shell account). Not only will it tell you cpu usage but memory usage and load average. There are lots of sites that will help you make sense of the info if you’re interested.

That’s “top” a very useful tool.

is there any chance we could get some warning on dreamhoststatus.com that machines are moving before they’re moved? Like an hour or something? Post the message, go get lunch and then do the move when you get back?

My php db on Go is still down! This downtime is getting ridiculous, good thing my work related things are on another host or I’d be losing a great deal of business.

My site is on Nilla, which seems to be intermittently down / unreachable without anything appearing here. Keep diligently checking dreamhoststatus every time it goes kaput, keep not seeing anything that explains what’s up :/
