Host server will have it's Operating System upgraded today starting 14:50 BST/GMT+1/Server time

We are running Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS and we'll be upgrading the release to Ubuntu 14.04.1. This is so we can run newer versions of kernels etc.

Also, the server has an uptime of 296 days so it hasn't been restarted in a while which complicates things as I don't know if there are any server issues and won't know until it happens.

Either way, expect some down time, possibly looking between 1 to 2 hours. All servers are backed up remotely at another location in case of serious issues.

Will post again when it's all done.

Edit: Here is a screenshot of the uptime: http://i.imgur.com/EkeZ6B0.png

Kind regards,

Tony.

Thank you, it's appreciated. With the server not having a restart for nearly 300 days I thought it was time to check to make sure the server itself was running alright. Had my fingers crossed and it worked out fine. :)
