hxf being really really slow

I wonder if he will be able to do it so the server reboots every 90 mins or something incase he is ever away and there is a problem.

I think an auto reboot would be beneficial, but not every 90 minutes. It should be much less frequent than that. As Garion says, that results in too much down time.

Once every night after the backup has completed, a reboot would be nice.

However problems can come up from a server reboot, such as daemons not starting properly, in which case we would be screwed.

Bump to see Richies / HotelUsers posts.

argh its SERIOUSLY pissing me off now, id much rather have it down 2 minutes every 1hr 30 or 2 hours, than having it down randomly for 3 hours or something. Its so damn annoying, and 2 minutes is nothing in spaces.

I don't really like the idea of having the 2 minutes downtime every 90 minutes either. If it's similar to the other ones then that could mean an increase in duplicate posts, an extreme annoyance to members unaware of the downtime who are trying to make posts/threads and then giving up waiting (since 2 minutes may not seem a long time, but it's quite annoying sitting their waiting that long for a post to show.

Hopefully it just needs a little tinkering somewhere, and things can be returned to normal. It isn't very often that this happens, and one night of slightly disrupted service is probably better than a continued phase of small downtimes. Yes it's annoying, but it's one of those things that happens and it should be sorted.

It doesn't happen often perhaps once every 6 months, Jin'll come online, boot the server up the arse and then we'll be fine again
