In the majority of my previous lives, we used Tuesday @ 10am as the swtichover time. That allowed for the odd Monday holiday to not interfere with the schedule as well as give the person doing the duty to clean up after the weekend. The switchover of pager/responsibility was the start of your time, anything that came in until the pager gets into the other's hands is your responsibility, no clean up for the new on-call. When you took the pager, you're responsible for checking the battery, phones, your logins to any remote systems, your laptop for all required software working too. (Corporate "update" sometimes broke the tools we in support were required to use because they didn't see our jobs/needs as any different than say, folks in accounting.) _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
