Check each server up and up-to-date? http://monitor/nagios2 look at tactical overview.
- HINT: A report is also emailed to asswatch every night at midnight. If you want to use the command line, there are three scripts: list_problems (lists everything that has a problem, and what that problem is), down (lists down servers), and needs_upgrading (lists servers that need to be "aptitude dist-upgrade"ed). These scripts live on monitor.
web services administration (wiki, todo, lessons, area, dev/svn, dev/projects, web, web/mail, www, others...)
- clarification needed: what part of these services need checking?
- integrate this with nagios? Ryan will look into what can and needs to be integrated.
check if there are any open security announcement tickets.
- HINT: Search for open RT tickets created by ass-security@our_domain. If you like the command line, then you can use this (mainly self explanatory, just run it) script: ./ass/scripts/security/show_security

Security cameras (currently not active)
- Software set up correctly and running.
- pointing in correct direction
visual inspection
- look for things like bad fans on servers
- dust/vaccuum servers, switches
- look dangerous cable tangles, stress/tension on punched-down cables
UPS check
- Tests successfully
- Balanced load
- Battery installation within 3 years

watch all of the asswatch scripts, and makes sure that they are working. (Ryan does this)
rootmail cleanup/checkup (Ryan)
check each server is listed in purpose (asswatch)
backups working on each server (asswatch)
check each server with maintenance notes and script, check rootmail is working (Ryan does this every so often, probably doesn't need to be done often)
Are all printers on, ready, and without stalled jobs?? (nagios)
mailing list moderation (handled by freegeek moderators)
- reply to subscription requests to determine sentience
Outgoing Phone Message (handled by front desk)
