As you may have gathered from yesterday's entries [1] I wasn't having a great day. I had gone to bed thinking the Server From Hell [2] was okay and I could concentrate on other things, but alas, I was waken up early to a dead server that needed to be up now and can we please move all the sites over to the backup server now and trying to fix things on a keyboard [3] that is less than perfect (perfection in keyboards thy name is IBM PS/2) and the sheer idiocy of RedHat [4] and all this before I even had caffeine set the tone for the rest of the day.
Eventually I was able to straighten out the UID (User ID) mess [5], get all the services from the Server From Hell onto the backup server and switch everything over (this about 1:30 am or so). And everything seems to be running fine (once I figured out how to increase the number of open file descriptors on the backup server to accomodate the large number of open files).
Hopefully now I'll have the peace and quiet to concentrate on other things.
Ohm.
