Eskinews...

[Robert Dinse <nanook@eskimo.com>]

     Well, I found out what caused the "spontaneous" reboot of eskinews,
unfortunately finding it out means it's going to have to go through the fsck
again, so another 45 minutes or so before it will be up. 

     But what happened was that Aaron plugged the CPU into an outlet that is
intended for monitors and is switched.  When Catherine went home and turned the
monitor switch off the machine halted.  I noticed it down, went down and turned
the monitor switch back on to see what happened, and of coarse it was booting
(having just had power restored). 

     Unfortunately, the way that I discovered what caused this was that after
it had finished the fsck, I turned the monitors off and then happened to notice
the drives quite flashing (they are on unswitched outlet).  Turned the monitor
back on and they started flashing...

     CPU is now plugged into unswitched outlet, hopefully it will be happier
but it's going to have to go through the fsck again now.
