SETI@home scheduler is down until further notice.

The E.T. call us, but we don´t receive the call... the line is down!

Seems your always having crashes and problems. A lot of us out here could help solve configuration issues if there were a good source on your configurations with system details.

I run Einstein as well. They seemingly have a better group or configuration.

I worry SETI is just a part time job for some of your people. There are a lot of things that seem to go wrong every weekend, holiday, or three day period.Eric I do appreciate your dedication. To bad
SETI at home it is so underfunded and staffed lightly.

A conference to discuss SETI and technology as well as whether the analysis path pursued is still viable or do we need a shift in overall approach to maximize the utility of you SETI volunteer corps.. Given a rudimentary analysis of Earth's radio frequency history (we go from Broadband Noise pulse generation to Digital Microwave inside of a 100 years) you realize other civilizations might only use RF for communications for a very short window in time. Even if the signals are floating around out there time coincidence is very unlikely and probability of intercept very low low indeed. Then propagation distance means any intercepted signals would be so far back in time that we'd be unlikely and unable to communicate back within any reasonable period to establish a comm channel.

Perhaps looking at advanced communication methods like lasers, or even neutrino emissions might be promising.. Don't know the answer only that our RF search has som many "depends on" that it's probability is very very unlikely.

Hate to be a pesimist but....

Happy Thanksgiving!!! Will still crunch..

Lets hope it is up before the expiry dates for the 15 wu'sI have waiting to upload. good luck guys it cant be easy keeping the servers functioning with so many volunteers

I assume this is also the case for SETI@Home Beta, so may I suggest you post this little announcement in that sub-forum too?

Thanks!

Thanks for the notice, Eric.
I have faith you shall get it sorted in the near future.

And don't worry, the kitties will leave the light on for ya.

As it is kitten, so shall it be done.

There has been a little bit of progress overnight (my time).
The server status page looks as if it is being updated. But still no traffic flowing.

They have $$$$$$$$$$, Seti@home doesn't.

Thanks for letting us know. Not the most welcome news, but I think we half expected it and you've given it your best shot. Have a great weekend, and let's hope it all looks easier on Monday morning.

Before you leave, it might be wise to check round the rest of the system and batten the hatches down securely. For example, I have a feeling the splitters didn't get a 'stop' message during the first scheduler outage, and carried on filling up storage: we had a lot more tasks 'ready to send' than the normal high water mark, when you brought Synergy up yesterday.

Looking at the other Project status page, which does seem to be up to date, there is 306,417 tasks ready to send, which doesn't sound too bad, If it is accurate of cause,

Now the Server Status page is up to date, the MB splitters are shown as still running, and the Results ready to send is now up to 504,965

It would only worry me if we saw the numbers of "channels done" changing - because that would imply new data being written to disk, and the normal limits not being observed. So, recording the state of play for the first five tapes as at 10:10 UTC: (14, 10, 1, 6, 2) - if they change, it will be a warning sign.
