Problems: 

Problems restarting SISPI from 4pm.  After many attempts to restart SISPI with standard commands, we finally rebooted system1, then rebooted server1-3 and system1.  system1 needed a fsck upon second reboot, so had to go looking for root password.  Jim Hughes came to the rescue for that.  After the systems came up, cleanup scripts still wouldn't run until we restarted comfort1.  Finally scripts ran and SISPI started.  Then had a problem with lock file (see elog) which Ann fixed.  

During night had a few minor problems (had to restart Guider at beginning; had one image where Guider failed, had another image that we used "Stop" on and EXPTIME was bad).
