TheCAT's Unix/Linux team is taking the opportunity of the Datacenter power work to reboot all Linux servers and desktops to address security updates.  The interruption in service caused by these reboots will be swift and minimal.  Services that will be interrupted are, databases, webpages, and user login services.

The team will also be on site during the power work to address any service instability that may arise.
