My iPhone needs a life
Tags: Computers
I woke up around 5 AM this morning, which really isn't all that unusual. After failing to fall back to sleep I grabbed my iPhone sitting on my night table just to see if any interesting e-mail came in overnight. Nothing much, but one of my clients' servers had a memory issue that really could have used a reboot. This is a lumber yard and I knew they open early on Saturday so I figured no time like the present. I fired up LogMeIn Ignition on my iPhone and tried to connect to the server. As much as I love LogMeIn sometimes it has issues and today it was still snoozing while my iPhone and I were awake. Plan B was Mocha Remote Desktop, another great iPhone application. Plan C would have been secure VNC through SSH tunneling with iSSH but I didn't need to go there. Since plan B got me in I quickly rebooted the server and tried to go back to sleep. Meanwhile my iPhone got a couple alerts that the server was down and then back up 5 minutes later. Then I remembered that sometimes one of the Spector 360 services doesn't always start up, so I went back to plan A, LogMeIn, which worked this time, and quickly scrolled through to start the sticky service. Then we went back to sleep. Well, I did eventually. My iPhone got a few more e-mails. That thing really needs to rest sometime.
