This reminds me oof an incident circa 1969. We had a 1403 printer and you may remember carriage control tapes. Well a student operator changed forms but failed to replace the carriage control tape. So

There is always a UPS to help with this issue. However they are not idiot proof. I will always remember getting a call from a London station, with a potential application fault. When the customer was

Re: It has been awhile and I forget how to get past a power loss
I created a service (runs under systemctl) which starts Multics under its dps8m emulator, running it under tmux, and which shuts it down cleanly when Linux is shutting down. Starting it is relatively

Hello Dave, Window 10 allows you to set the window or turn off the auto reboot, as I remember. I've been going with the auto reboot because I know it is for the best to let Windows do the auto

Re: It has been awhile and I forget how to get past a power loss
Hmmm. How does Windows know when the system is in use? Can we make Hercules tell Windows that the system is in use as long as it's running? wrote:

Re: It has been awhile and I forget how to get past a power loss
Hello Dave, My Windows system didn't just reboot. It had several updates to apply and they required a reboot. I have Windows set up to reboot, if the system isn't in use during specified period. In

Re: It has been awhile and I forget how to get past a power loss
