37: base, Site shorelab, Fri 01-Oct-2004 11:35:45 EDT, power restored at base
Power was lost at the MVCO shore lab on Martha's Vineyard and aster was not
plugged into the UPS.  Consequently aster died sometime after 06:11 EDT on
September 29:

[aster@aster all]$
Broadcast message from root (Wed Sep 29 06:11:36 2004):
 
Battery Low Notification from APM BIOS (8% 0:15)
Read from remote host 128.128.205.42: Connection timed out
Connection to 128.128.205.42 closed.

Jim Edson went to MV on the evening of September 30 and restored AC power to
aster at 18:43 EDT.  Gordon then restarted ragwort to force it to resume 
sending data to the base.
20: base, Site , Tue 17-Aug-2004 12:09:41 EDT, rebooted ripple
Rebooted ripple (dyn80-1) this morning at 9:40 MDT.  The reboot hung, so
Joe Vinson recycled power.  Reboot completed at 9:59 MDT
16: base, Site shorelab, Thu 12-Aug-2004 09:33:52 EDT, lost some samples in archive
Noticed some loss of data in /var/log/local/isff.log.  Port 45538 is
the current port to archive:

At 6:02 is when cron.daily is run. According to /etc/crontab it
should be run at 04:02, but crontab must still be on MST.

So, I disabled some entries in /etc/cron.daily:
  chmod -x slocate.com rpm

And I shut down covar, and commented it out in ragwort.up.
12: base, Site shorelab, Wed 04-Aug-2004 14:57:50 EDT, To stop and start the ndaq process on ragwort
If you ned to stop and restart the data acquisition process on ragwort
do a "ndaqrestart ragwort" on aster (the shorelab machine). This should stop
the data acquistion. It will then startup again. Try this first before doing
a reboot on ragwort.

3: base, Site tower, Tue 27-Jul-2004 11:11:19 EDT, ragwort setup
Tom and others are out at the tower setting up ragwort. The goal is to get
ragwort up with the spare sonic running. This will allow us to test the
communication link. The weather may put a damper on going to the tower over the next two days. 
2: base, Site shorelab, Tue 27-Jul-2004 11:02:38 EDT, base setup
The base station, aster, has been setup at the WHOI shore lab. This is 
on Martha's vineyard at the airport. Below is some useful information
