Downtime

The machine running Open-Tran has been restarted four days ago. Unfortunately, I was on vacation and received the notification about the server being down while relaxing in the Dead Sea :) The service was unavailable for about 48 hours until I got back home. I apologize for any inconvenience caused and promise that this will not happen again.

In order to avoid such situations in the future, I created a cron job that periodically tries to start the web server. So in case the server ever makes a restart like this again, the service should be back up within a couple of minutes.
