No Internet connection
yesterday, I scanned a few documents and when done, I left the working plase, after having the scanner disconnected from the power grid.
At least, that was what I thought.
Only this morning I found out – by pure accident – that there was no Internet connectivity. No wonder: I had taken off the wrong power supply: the one of the router.
So there has been no connection between yesterday 19:30 and this moring about 6:30.
Time to re-locate this connection to a place less easily reachable! This happens too easily.
No problems on the sytems. A quick scan on the processlist using the server’s logging facility showed everything is still up and running, though in first grance it looked as if the spamfilter was gone; but it was just that I overlooked the processes. All processes are running, but some are swapped – likely because I logged in uisng the XWindows interface on the direct attached monitor.
The system’s performance graph missed out all spikes that occur every hour or so – probably a webcrawler.
The only thing is that mail has not been delivered, and though my ISP states they hold a backup (Store & Forward) chances are it didn’t work. I’ve seen that before.
