-**mccoy has now been decommissioned and replaced with [[boe]].**

-{{MccoyHosting}}
-====== Notes ======
-Mccoy, the old shell server donated by Sun, is in the process of being decommissioned, having been successfully replaced some time ago by the more powerful [[gallifrey]]. (Basically, we have a bunch of [[ultra1|U1]]'s in the rack, and a bunch of [[ultra5|U5]]'s in the cupboard that noone is using... calls for a [[hardware_audit]]!)
-The decommissioning was first announced in the motd on the 29th of September.  As of the time of editing, there does not appear to have been any login activity since the 18th of December, indicating that it has finally fallen out of use - even sjh has logged out.  However, 6 users are still running screen sessions on it.  No audit seems to have been carried out of the other services it is running, or even if they work...
-====== Decommissioning ======
-===== [[shell_service]] =====
-ssh.tardis.ed.ac.uk now points at [[gallifrey]]. ''ssh-old.tardis.ed.ac.uk'' is now the alias for this system.
-===== [[mail_service]] =====
-Mccoy will not be decommissioned until someone sets up a new mailserver.
-//What would happen if we pulled (ok, copied) the disk from mccoy and put it in a [[ultra5|U5]]? Answers on a postcard!//
-===== Misc =====
-There are a bunch of admin scripts mentioned in [[general_administration]] lying around, especially in /root/, apparently.
-These will need found and backed-up/copied somewhere sensible/packaged/cvs'ed/whatever...
-//Tardis scripts package anyone? or does one exist? Might be a good idea to investigate. Kev wrote a [[packaging_tutorial]], what a nice guy!//
