Staying Informed About 'System Events'

 

Occasionally, 'system events' will temporarily disrupt some network-based services, including e-mail and access to servers. These system events may be downtimes scheduled and announced in advance (e.g., for hardware maintenance and repairs) or they may be unplanned problems (e.g. a storm causing a power outage). When such events occur, ITS recognizes that you want as much information about the problems and the solutions as you can get. To that end, there is an e-mail distribution list, Notification-L, to which all new accounts are automatically subscribed. This list is used solely to communicate with campus users about system events - far in advance for planned events, and as soon as possible for unplanned events. You may change your subscription options here.
