ita, unless you changed the code Tuesday night, it just can't be the code. It was fine Tuesday, and went south Wednesday. It can't be traffic related if it still gives us the error when only the stompies have access to the board. Either something external is doing this to us, and that wouldn't explain the messages while we are down, or something changed on the server.
Xander: Just once I'd like to run into a cult of bunny worshippers. Anya: Great. Thank you very much for those nightmares.

Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Do we have shell access to the account?

I am, perhaps understandably, frustrated.
Quite understandably, ita.
I'm ignorant on all this stuff, but DX makes the only sense I can puzzle out. Before we evacuated to PF, I was getting errors at ungodly times of the morning, when at most, we would have had me, NoiseDesign, and Nilly on the board.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yes -- you have an idea?

I agree -- the only thing I changed was after the errors started, and has nothing to do with the database.

I'm noticing less errors this morning. FWIW.

When you get a chance, could you log into the account and send me the output of the following commands?
- ps -wwaux
- netstat -na
- lsof (or, if it's a BSD system, fstat)
Maybe something will jump out at me. A few samples over the course of the day might be helpful too.

Still no error messages here -- not a one so far.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The only one of those that gives output is ps -wwaux, and that lists the ps itself and bash. Permission is denied for netstat, and neither lsof or fstat are found.

Grrr. Thanks anyway.

I'm getting all the errors that Theodosia isn't getting.
A stab-in-the-dark idea...
Maybe somehow, the board/server doesn't like that we got cute and put fancy font in the new natter title? It's the only thing "different" (well that, and the new--if I read this thread correctly--é in the Sang Sacré header) I can think of, that happened around the time things started going pear-shaped.
