Status:
I've set up the physical user accounts on shank. If you have a shell account, you should be able to ssh in now.

Action:
pop3 and imap are being installed now. When it finishes you'll be able to start checking your mail. While that's installing, I'm working on getting your websites back up and running.

Status:
qmail is now accepting mail and it is being queued up on the server for delivery. Once I have everyone's account configured, I will enable delivery and you'll be able to check your mail.

Action:
Right now I'm installing mysql, python, php, apache and qmail-scanner (and all their dependencies). This should be complete when I get home tonight so I can set everything else up.

Status:
I have nameservice and the mail exchanger partially running. I'm merging in some software now and once that's done, I'll verify that your email is being queued for delivery. I've copied your home directories to the new shank.

I convinced my host to set up a compile farm for me so software installation will go much faster. Now using a 3GHz Xeon, 2.4GHz P4 and a 1.2GHz/512K P3 to compile! yay

Status:
The software installation ran all night and is still running. It's building the last package right now.

Action:
First task is to migrate nameservice, then set up buttons as backup mx, then start migrating accounts.

Status:
Ok, so shank's image is so hosed it won't even boot any more. Your data is still safe! Your email.. is probably bouncing right now.

Action:
We are starting shank over with a new image. As I write this, I'm installing all the software shank needs to operate your sites. Once that is complete, I'll start moving your accounts over and bringing them up on this new image one-by-one. This is just like moving to a new server.
