3. In the event of a power outage for which the mountain does not switch to generator, please contact the
mountain staff about properly shutting down the FLAMINGOS computer flamingos1a. There is a shutdown
manual available off of the Manuals web page, but the procedure requires someone with root access (e.g., the
mountain staff, or anyone on the list above).
X.Acknowledgements & Other Bits
This version of the manual is substantially more complete than previous versions. Information has been
incorporated from previous versions written by Katherine Wu, and Richard Elston and Elizabeth Lada. Helpful
suggestions, comments and questions came from: Joanna Levine, Michael Ledlow, Jay Elias, Ron Probst, Dick
Joyce, Mark Dickinson, Peter Eisenhardt, Dan Stern, and many FLAMINGOS observers.
Written in StarOffice 6.0, a nice program, but with a buggy Postscript driver. Finally revised in OpenOffice 3.0,
which has a built-in PDF exporter.
