Software updates on Wednesday April 13, 2011

The departmental servers coxeter, sphere, and the mail, web, and blog/wiki servers will have some software updates applied today (Wednesday afternoon, April 13, 2011) which will require rebooting. 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 without 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.
