Last night the Matlab license server crashed, because the number of open file handles reached the maximum configured, because a user started a lot of Matlab processes. Because we do not yet monitor this properly and it was not reported to us, we could only repair it this morning. We increased the number of file handles by a factor of four. We assume that this will be sufficient to wait till the reboot of next Monday, when it will again be enlarged, this time by a factor of sixteen. We will also on short notice start to monitor the Matlab license server properly.
The server lilo4 stalled at shutdown during the monday morning reboot. Solution: it continued its reboot after server wielewaal became available.
