Problem(s) Encountered:

When closing for the night, after entering  tx dropleaf close  to close the dropleaf, I received an error on the TCS log. Something about the  Y adam  not working correctly. I foolishly didn''t save the error before restarting the software (I thought the log messages carries over between restarts, but that doesn''t seem to be the case), so I don''t have the exact text.

After the error, however, I couldn''t raise or lower the dropleaf or slit. I could enter all of the commands I wanted to, but they did nothing: they threw no errors, but just sat there with nothing happening. I contacted the 2.4 m observers and they were able to manually close everything up, and that''s where we stand right now.

Solutions:

Open a terminal on mdm13ws1 and type telescope stop.  Then type telescope start.  Reopen or reinitialize TCS GUI and system once again talks to the dome.
