For the machine at TUM, the main issue currently is to get the
networking issue that Christian identified sorted out.

I was actually thinking of general Hydra administration.  Occasionally
machines may have troubles, like transient errors (networking, disk
space, random build issues, etc.) requiring manual intervention, or
occasional Hydra upgrades.

There=E2=80=99s also the problem that our current setup is fairly hackish.
Having scripts to automate some of the tasks would be an improvement.

Thanks,
