• Sick on Monday
• Helped Gavin fixing the sticky bit issue for /usr/bin/crontab
• ippMonitor now displays the stsci storage nodes. However, it seems that there is a bug on the gnuplot version on the cluster (4.2p5). Weird patterns are shown in histogram. I tried with another version 4.2p6 and it was fine.
• libmysqlclient installation issues (see wiki page)
• Installed gnuplot 4.6p0 to fix the rendering problem with 4.2p5. Modified czartool plotter accordingly.
