What is CIT-Alert-L?

CIT-Alert-L is an e-mail list used to inform Cornell faculty, staff, and students about significant problems with computing services, phones, and AUDIX. It also provides advance notice of planned outages of services that will affect a large portion of the campus for several hours. Subscribers receive infrequent messages directly from Cornell Information Technologies.

For example, CIT-Alert-L messages warn about:

  • security threats
  • computer viruses/worms that are spreading on campus
  • sustained problems with Cornell's connection to the Internet
  • planned, extended outages of phone or AUDIX services (lasting several hours)
  • planned, extended outages of heavily used CIT-supported services, such as e-mail, Who I Am, CorporateTime, the Library Gateway, and Just the Facts (lasting several hours)
  • services that are being discontinued

Note: Technical support providers and others who need to know about *all* reported outages and problems with Cornell's campus network should subscribe to Net-Announce-L, monitor the newsgroup cornell.announce.networks, or subscribe to the uPortal.Cornell channel cornell.announce.networks.
