I was starting to go through withdrawals, when HF goes down its almost as bad as trying to quit smoking.

I forgive you Omni. But I came back to a PM from Paradoxum giving me a warning for changing my name without warning him.

Idiot.

No need to call me an idiot was just wondering.

I've finally taken the time to make a simple bash script to check if Apache is locked up and restart. It's been something I've been meaning to do for a while. It checks every 15 minutes and if it's locked then apache will restart. Of course this won't actually stop an attack but if the attack is over or my firewall catches enough of the IPs we should come back online. Example is todays attack with my script we probably would have had less than an hour of downtime and I wouldn't have had to do anything.

I'll watch this to see how it goes. My script should work as I want it. If it does then maybe I'll run it every 10 minutes which I think is fine. There can always be adjustments and optimizations.

Nice one, Omni! So this means no more real long downtime? Awesome.

Yay for reduced downtime. Just i have to read the announcements more before making the first thread in the lounge again >.<!

Thanks for fixing it. I woke up went to HF (always the first thing I do) and saw I had an unread PM. Clicked it then everything stopped. I was like "WTF"
