Builds and Mustella down

[Erik de Bruin <er...@ixsoftware.nl>]

Hi,

Just FYI: there have not been any nightly builds for nearly a week, and
Mustella has not run for nearly two.

As access to the VMs via RDP requires you having the log in credentials,
I'll contact you off list in a short while :-)

I'm happy to keep a tab open and check it.

Is the restart procedure on our Wiki somewhere ?

Basically check the web interface if the builds have run successfully over
the previous period. All builds should run at least once daily, and the
Mustella runs all run on average twice a day. If they haven't run according
to that schedule, something is up, and one must take action. Mostly this
comes down to plain rebooting the machine, resetting it (blunt, but
effective). Sometimes it is a bit more complicated, in which case I used to
shout out to dev@ for insight/help.

Failing builds (that did run successfully) result in emails to the likely
culprits, so that's not a task for the watcher.

What would this entail ?

No, Mustella also automatically updates. I don't know if you can even turn
that off. I think not, as part of MS security measures.

This is part of the reason why these VMs need daily monitoring, and that is
why I asked for volunteers to take that off my hands.

Bummer.  Mustella was stuck on an exception dialog.

Builds had restarted because of a Windows update.  Did you turn off
Windows update on Mustella or is periodic rebooting from updates just a
fact of life on these servers?
