Notes: 12 July 2013: KB logged into gygax and found no vlbagrb.py running. Gygax uptime was 8 days, so it looks like it had been rebooted 8 days before. Might have missed a few triggers, but oh well. Will update GCN configuration to make more noise when socket connection is lost. -- KeithBannister - 2013-07-11
