Problems: 

CTIMAC3 is responding too slowly even to pages like the CDS Portal. This means to re-send the send command in the CHIRON night observing script. As a consequence, some times we got two lamps instead of one and tonight,  the field # 17 appears like never SEND but in fact it was observed as requested.

Comments: 

The fan under "1.5m TCP Interface" (in the rack under the fire extinguisher) is making a bit annoying noise which -I believe- was not there yesterday. Please, I will appreciate a check of it.

The TCS CRT Dell screen turns OFF / ON. At some point it will fail.  There is a LCD Viewsonic screen side of the DELL screen: might it be used as a replacement?
