But only for about 15 to 20 minutes all being well!

As part of our commitment to provide quality web hosting services, a reboot of your server has been scheduled for, September 22, to upgrade into a new kernel which will help mitigate the exploit for CVE-2010-3081(http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=4518). Please read the details carefully.

Scheduled Date and Time:
This is scheduled to be done beginning Wednesday 22, 2010 at 10 PM EDT through Thursday 23, 2010 at 4 AM EDT.

Maintenance Type:
There was a recent exploit that impacted all CentOS5 64Bit servers and in order to mitigate the said exploit, your server needs to be rebooted in order to upgrade into a newly released kernel.

Estimated Downtime:
While the reboot will take place during a six hour period, this does not mean that your server will be offline for this length of time. A typical reboot should take no longer than 15 - 20 minutes. We do not foresee any further downtime outside of this window.

I've no idea what the time difference is between EDT & BST but if the web site disappears for a short while on Thursday morning, you'll know why.

You certainly know how to hit the headlines Keith. This is the 1st time the Board, players and moaners have all tuned in at the same time.

Fancy waiting till they'd all gone to bed

Quite a relief to read the full post.

Possibly some preparetory work for the update? I didn't notice although it did appear incredibly slow a couple of times last week (same time as a couple of 'double posts' appeared).
