The B.A.S.I.S. software on KETRON hung. A symptom of this was that none of the B.A.S.I.S. applications on workstations would launch. This included the System Administration and the Alarm Monitoring apps. KETRON was rebooted to clear the problem. Conversations with Lance Holloway indicated that the system should be rebooted more frequently than it is:

Lance:
“I’m not as familiar with the reboot requirements of Win 2k as I was with NT. I know that NT could go maximum about two weeks before memory issues took over. Depending on the application. We’ve seen other sites lock up after a while if they have screens open for event stacks etc, and not be rebooted.”
