SysAdmins,
1) Recently our building lost power for about
20 minutes. The Alphas had UPS's but would
only last for 15 minutes. Because we rely
heavily on NFS, the machines were locked-up.
What key combination/sequence can be used to
access a promt on order to shut the machines
down gracefully?
2) We have an Alpha 2100 server with two
processors. When a cpu-intensive job
is submitted it takes the first processor.
When more cpu-intensive jobs are submitted,
they share the second cpu - meanwhile the
first job continues to hog the first processor.
Is there a way to share cpu-percentage amongst
all the jobs (i.e. swap jobs) instead of letting
the first job have a processor all to itself.
Many thanks in advance. I will send a summary.
