Received email from PEER 1 requesting a reboot - I assume of both osgeo
servers.

------

Dear Valued PEER 1 Customer:

A security update was recently released for your Linux server that
requires a
reboot to take effect. Please schedule and perform a reboot at your
earliest
convenience to protect the security and reliability of your dedicated
server.

We recommend the following:

1. Ensure the updates have already been applied by typing 'up2date -u' at
the
root prompt.

2. After the updates have been installed, type 'shutdown -r now' to reboot
your
system. The 'up2date -u' command may report "No Packages marked for
Update".
This does not indicate whether or not your system requires a reboot and we
still recommend using 'shutdown -r now' to complete installation.

The security and reliability of your dedicated server is important to us.
If
you need assistance or if your machine does not respond under 5 minutes,
please
call us at 1-877-504-0091 or open a reboot request online at
https://mypeer1.com.

Thank you for your continued business and support.

Sincerely,

Support Team
PEER 1

Is any member of the crowd running this command on a regular basis on
the two primary servers ?

Cheers,

Not that I know of. Updates are scary :slight_smile: We should probably do them and be ready to live with the consequences though. Are there two primary admins that can schedule some downtime together to take this task on?
