[auton-users] ssh session termination

[Paul Komarek]

Hello everyone,

We are preparing to make lop6 and lop7, as well as the 8GB loq1 and
loq2, available to the lab.  Among the steps is a lab-wide network
operation that might/will terminate some/all ssh connections to the
lab.  In particular, we need to restart our address-translation daemon.

We would like to make this change sometime tonight.  Please make sure
that you are not relying on an ssh session into the lab staying open
after 8pm tonight.  If you have an ssh session open which you absolutely
positively cannot lose, please email admin at autonlab.org as soon as
possible or call me (Paul Komarek) at 412.983.1284.

We will notify everyone via this list when lop6, lop7, loq1 and loq2 are
available.  Some of you may discover you can connect to these machines,
but please do not start any jobs without contacting us first.  Just one
of several reasons for this policy is that these machines are being
rebooted fairly often now as we put them through their paces.  It is
also not clear how much thermal load we can handle in the lab while the
AC is off.
