#27715 ssh - interactive shell is not available
(1)
If I try to connect via ssh to "user,project@shell.sourceforge.net, I always get the info "Your shell is shutting down. Please try again later."
The shell was working well until 29.05.2026 11:15:00.
The shell is currently used every 15 minutes to automatically maintain some project (assp) mysql tables and to create some project download files which contain some consolidated data (for much more than a decade now).
I know, the shell will be off at 30.06.2026 - but it should still work at this time.
(2)
How can I shedule the mysql table maintenance after 30.06.2026? I don't want to abuse the SF-web server or to do anything that will annoying you. I'm looking for the best solution!
Do yo have any suggestion for me?
Best regards
Thomas

Thank you - the shell is working again!
But how can I solve the problem (2) ? Do yo have any suggestion for me?

Hello,
Thank you for your feedback.
You could try setting up a CGI-bin endpoint to perform the maintenance work and hit it periodically to see if that works.
Just as an FYI, we're currently reviewing CGI-bin support. While no decision has been made, it's possible that support could be phased out in the future. You may want to start evaluating alternative hosting options as a precaution.
