IT is so glamorous
It is currently about 8:45 a.m. I climbed out of bed about 20 minutes ago when I heard a child squeak.
The boys had overnight company last night and three of the four were up late. I got them settled down at 1 a.m. and then again at 2 a.m.
Before going to bed I shut my phone off. I turned it back on at about 8:40 this morning. There were two messages from work ... one came in at 5 a.m. and the other at 7 a.m.
We are a Monday-through-Friday-nine-to-five type of business. Sure, there is typically someone there on the weekends -- it isn't uncommon for that someone to be me -- but five a.m. on a Sunday is a rarity. It's just wrong.
I called the guy who left the message just a bit ago. He's packing it in for the day. I'm current;ly connected through the VPN and looking at things. As everyone should, before panicking, I'm rebooting the troublesome server.
You and I should know how it works out in just a minute or two.
The server just came up ...
I've logged in ...
The ERP utility has allowed me to connect ... it didn't before the reboot ...
I can login to the ERP via the client ... so things are good.
And I did it all while watching The Grimm Adventures of Billy and Mandy. (That's the glamorous part.)
Our NT servers reboot every night. If we don't reboot them sometimes our ERP hangs during the day -- well, as I recall, it was happening once every two weeks or better. I can't remember the last time the overnight reboot failed to start the ERP instance.
Why why why on a Sunday at 5 a.m.??

Sunday at 5 AM? Somebody needs to get a life. That's insane.
