Tonight at 11pm we will be conducting maintenance operations on a range of servers, which will impact briefly services including member tools and webmail.  This maintenance should be completed within 2 hours, and we will update this post once it is finished.

Shell Server Instability

Update: An issue that kept user directories from being mounted correctly has been resolved.

Update: Issues are still ongoing and being investigated.

This morning shell.sonic.net was briefly unreachable while instability issues were addressed. Shell sessions that were open were closed and the host was unavailable for a few minutes, but at this time it is back online and users are able to connect.
