[users@httpd] When it rains it pours...
So I get a call from one of our developpers. Turns out that the "UT"
interface wasn't working properly anymore. The UT interface is
basically a SOAP service running on a Tomcat instance. The purpose it
to allow smartphones to do things like get Call History etc.. by
sending Soap requests to this interface. Recently the functionality of
this service has been extended to provide for a new type of nifty
fix-line phone with touch screen that Swisscom wants to inflict on the
market next year.
But anyway. It had become sluggish, and the usual solution is to just
bounce the Tomcat.
So I log in and do:
sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat5 stop.
I press enter and then the power in the office fails...
Lasted an hour before we had power and network back, and I could ssh
back in to the server in order to start the tomcat again...
I am going to look in to making the whole UT interface more robust.
And we are also looking in to getting a UPS for our coffeemachine,
because not being able to have a coffee when an outage condems you to
unproductivity is next to unbearable...

Java stuff does that quite often. We have this Tomcat app, each time we
start it, the lights get dimmer and the elevators slow down.
We tried a load-balancer before, but it did not really help.
So now we got low-power memory boards in our servers, and start or stop
the apps manually one by one.

Please don't. It was an entertaining story, better than many on this
list. The UPS for the coffeee machine is a great idea. I'll suggest
that here, as we are about to move our servers to new premises.

I really should not have two mailing lists with adresses starting with
"users@...". Sorry list.
(Or how do I disable email completion in Gmail.)

When I was sitting in a refugee camp in Switzerland between 1986-1988
I had to do daily chores. One of them was to clean the bathrooms
located on the floor. One day as I grabbed my devices and started to
do it, I saw two persons standing in front of one urinals. One of
them was bending. I almost turned and went away, but in the last
moment I realized that the bending was just washing his hair, and the
other one was pushing the tap down, so the water flowed continuously.
They looked apache - black hair and sun-dried skin -, but there were
no tom-cat around :)
The coffee was made by an austrian cook from neighboring Voralberg :)

Maybe. But does it support the official RFC ?

Very funny (and completely off topic ofcourse...)
We have a more sofisticated coffee machine. It even runs on Linux (as
we could witness when the power came back), but don't know if it has
Apache installed...

I worked at a company once that had a coffee machine in the
'breakroom' which was right outside the door of the 2 bathrooms -
where there was a sink and microwave and coffee pot. One day at a
company meeting, someone mentioned it was about time to get a new
coffee pot brush. One person turned pale white. "What... coffee..
pot... brush?"
The other person said "The one right under the sink, right by the
coffee pot!" and the other person said "You've been using that on the
coffee pot?"
"Yes. Why?"
"Uhhh... I've been using that on the toilets."
I think it was a while before anyone drank coffee anymore.
