Hi,

When I came into my office this morning, my Sparc classic - mithril.mit.edu
- was displaying a screen's worth of

 afs: setting clock ahead 2 seconds (via 18.183.0.34 in cell athena.mit.edu).
then:
ENTER RUN LEVEL (0-6, s or S):

I typed s and it ultimately entered System Maintenance Mode.  I quit out of
that and opted for 0.

IT then said,

The systems is coming down.  Please wait.
System services are not being stopped.
Stopping the syslog service
nfs umount: mithril:vold(etc... server notresponding:  RPC: Program not
registered
umount: /var/usr/vice busy
WARM shutting down of : rx... afs... BkG... The system is down.

Type help for more information
ok Cursor here

I may or may not try typing help.

Can this machine be saved?

Thanks, in advance,

Phyllis
