/bin/sort -M

There was a problem with /bin/sort -M (sort by month JAN<..<DEC) in that it wasn't sorting by month. Doh!

This has been fixed with an upgrade to 'coreutils'

Power Outage

Dear customer,

Unfortunately a ring of our APC remote reboot management hardware failed which has caused a number of servers to power down. We are restoring affected servers and full service should be restored shortly.

Servers that do not have the remote reboot option should not have been affected. Around two racks worth of servers have been impacted (approx 100).

Please accept our deepest apologies for this inconvenience. We are investigating the cause of the failure and hope to put in place measures to prevent any such failure again.

Thank you for your patience and support.

DediPower
