The departmental servers coxeter, sphere, and the mail, web, and blog/wiki servers will have software updates applied on Wednesday afternoon, December 7, 2011 which will require rebooting (most servers will be unavailable starting at 4:15pm).  Since some updates will be applied while the servers are still up there may be some temporary issues with some software. We hope that any such issues will be minor and by doing most of the upgrading before bringing systems down the shorter downtime will be worth the potential minor problems. Please restart any programs if you observe problems during the upgrades (and please let us know at requests@math.toronto.edu, so we can investigate). We expect the systems to be back up by 5:00pm.

coxeter and the mail server are taking a little longer to reboot due to filesystem verifications.  We expect them to be back around 5:30pm.  The other servers are working now.

The departmental servers all appear to be working fine after the updates.  The mail and web servers were back before 4:30pm, but coxeter took slightly longer (less than 5 minutes) due to the large number of updates.
