psl down,h1ecatx1 restarted, opsws3 and 5 remina crashing

This morning I was unable to use tortise svn to do an svn update on h1ecatx1, jonathan managed to do one using the command line but something is wrong.

Now PLC2 on that machine is giving the message "choose run time system". I'm not sure why this happened. I tried stopping the plcs and shut down the OPC powershell window, but when I reran the install scripts I got the same choose run time system message, after which the plc does not run. So now I am restarting the machine.

I was also trying to use remina on opsws5 to log in to h1ecatx1, now opsws5 is crashed. Also, earlier today remina crashed on opsws3, and I was not able to use it again on that machine.

Also, the PSL shut down about an hour ago.

After restarting this, the PLCs came up running again, but powershell for epics communication has the same error as we had 2 weeks ago, saying target machine not found. This was due to a bad tpy file last time, but I am not sure how to fix it.

Only opsws4 can reliably run remina.  This is due to video driver problems.  Currently there is a tradeoff, With one video driver you can have lots of medm screens up at the same time, but you can't view digital video or use remina.  With the other video driver, you can view digital video or use remina, but trying to view lots of medm screens leads to slow response.  Opsws4 is set up to allow remina to be used, the other computers are set up to allow multiple medm screens to be viewed.
