Aps_status -- APS Storage Ring Status List
About Aps_status	English (USA)
This list alerts subscribers to status messages from Advanced Photon Source operations. These messages include the storage ring current and status as well as the number of shutters that are opened. Messages are sent out at approximately 5 minute intervals. This list is really set up if you have a pager with a "drop box" feature or if you want to receive the email into an email account for your own purposes. If you don't have an pager with a drop box or an email account and you just want to be notified of major events, you probably want the APS Notification List. The messages are short since the intended audience is APS Users who are receiving the messages on mobile devices such as alphanumeric pagers and cell phones. In the US, email can be sent directly to most cell phones. Please contact your cell phone provider to retreive your address. Once you are subscribed, you can log in using your email address and password combination and then turn notification on and off. That way, if you are a repeat APS User, you can simply enable/disable notification when you are running experiments. Subscribing to this list involves a simple approval process. Please email the list administrator (a link is at the bottom of this page) to have an address added. Your subscription to this list does not expire. To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the Aps_status Archives.
