Small server outage today

[iago]

I got a surge protector, so at some point today I'm going to hook it up.  It'll require a reboot.  :-o!

NOOO! I CAN'T LIVE ONE MINUTE WITHOUT THE FORUMS!!

Or... you could switch it so fast as to not interrupt the power :O ?

Physical impossibility!

That sounds like a challenge to me!  If it has a decent capacitor to cushon it, it is completely possible.  And I think most power supplies do. 

In any case, I didn't try it, and it's been done.  So it should be online forever now :)

Haha, yeah.  I still don't think it'd work!  If you do get it to work, let me know.  I don't want to ruin my 70 day uptime!

It is possible.  Hook a computer up an outlet with a switch, and if you turn the power off you will notice therre is a few second delay (the amount of time varies quite a bit though.)

Haha, yeah.  I'm going to try it some day! :)
