    At around 5:40 UTC a network switch died @UWM, and so the Einstein@Home machines were not reachable from the outside. David Hammer fixed it around 7:40 UTC (must be in the middle of the night there) by connecting E@H to a different switch. E@H seems to work ok so far, other services are still being worked on.

      That might explain why none of my hosts have made contact in over a day. Thanks for the info.

      And yes, 7:40 UTC is 1:40 a.m. in Milwaukee. [Would military types call that zero dark 40? :-) ]

          I haven't seen a work task in over 10 days. Since this started the Einstein server status page indicates all work generators are not running or disabled. Why no news about this??

            This is unrelated (everybody else has indeed received work in the past 10 days). There seems to be a specific problem with your PC, here's a snipped from the scheduler log of the latest contact with the scheduler

            So it's probably a good idea to check diskspace and/or the related resource settings in the preferences (both the web preferences and the local preferences, if any).

            Please let us know if this solves the problem.

            Cheers

              This is not true.

              The S6LV1 work generator has been running continuously for about half a year (with exception of the general project outage last month).

              The FGRP1 work generator has nothing to do right now, there was at least a technical news (that is still sticky).

              Our FGRP and BRP work generators are not running continuously, these run only when they find that there are too few "unsent" tasks. This is why "not running" there is not shown in red (as an error), but in yellow. The last time the BRP workunit generators produced more tasks was 2h ago.

                  Same problem here as well. E@H going off-line is unusual. I hope you get fixed soon!

                  I mean get well soon!

                    Same problem here as well -- multiple workstations.

                    Hopefully multiple reports of the problem will alert the appropriate folks back at the project that the problem is both real and on the project side.
