Well, a couple of things.
The last time source.squeak.org was down was May. At the time Ken accessed the Hetzner robot to reboot the server. I have an email saying he got access from Marcus.
I ssh'd into box2 and the squeakso process (seen with top -d 3) is now <defunct>. I think this means it is now a zombie having no parent process and that the problem can only be solved with a reboot.
Somebody needs to go to the Hetzner robot and flip the "reboot" switch. I would also point out that is is Thanksgiving in the USA, but not in France. I think Ken will be out of the picture for days. If somebody could contact Marcus (he's cc'd above) to flip the switch, perhaps that would be a solution.

I've rebooted the server and am currently in the process of checking things and trying to make some judgment about what happened.
One thing I can say is that it is likely that if anyone updated any projects at source.squeak.org today (Nov 24th) that you should check your work.

Thanks, Ken!
And to answer your questions in order, Rado: yes; I didn't know that I could do that. "sudo shutdown -r now". Check. I learn something new every day.

Chris,
no need to bother Marcus anymore. While he indeed set up and then managed our server hosting for many years (as former chair of the German Squeak users group), this year we finally transferred the server ownership to the Software Freedom Conservancy. Ken, I, and Bradley (of SFC) have access to the robot if needed.
