I am getting the following from all my machines when they make scheduler requests. The scheduler, feeder, etc all appear to be "not running" according to the server status page.

Yes, I was making backup of server and it took a few hours. After creating twitter account I will announce it there.

Thanks for the update. Glad it wasn't a problem.

One thing you may want to consider is a scheduled outage to do back ups, reorg database etc. SETI have one every Tuesday.
