Date: Mon, 7 Nov 2005 15:57:50 -0800 (PST) Subject: SIRTF: Spot/Leopard services down Nov 9-17 2005 Spot and Leopard services will be taken offline Wednesday November 9th at approximately 6:00 am PST to start deployment of our next software release affecting our databases and Spot/Leopard. We anticipate Spot/Leopard services will be back online Thursday November 17th at 5:00 pm PST. Spot and Leopard users will see 'Net Down' during this time. When our services are back on-line Spot version 13 and Leopard version 4 will be available. Users should ensure that Options -> Auto-Update is selected in Spot/Leopard to obtain an automatic update of the software after November 17th. More than one update may occur if you have not used Spot/Leopard, with Auto-Update on in awhile. The software will also be available at this URL http://ssc.spitzer.caltech.edu/propkit/spot/ when our services are back online. SSC Observer Support
