ISS's System Status is used to announce
The default message on this page is "Everything is running normally". This means that we are not aware of any major service problems.
If you think that there is a problem, please contact the ISS Helpdesk. The problem will be investigated by relevant systems staff as soon as possible.
ISS uses Tuesdays 0700-0900 to be the "at risk" period, when any system work, on any service, will be scheduled if possible. This period is timed to coincide with the "at-risk" period used by the national JANET network.
When appropriate, announcements are made on the Staff Home Page (seen by staff at login) and/or the Student Home Page (seen by students at login on ISS Cluster PCs). The more significant announcements are also sent to the ISS-Headlines email list.
Please note: during the "At Risk" period, work may be carried out which is not announced: such work is not expected to affect services in any noticeable way.
