Cron is used for downloading the schedule and starting the ITOS procedures for both ACE and WIND missions. The FOT discovered the problem during the WIND pass on DOY 151. The FOT went to the MMOC and started the WIND procedure manually. The FOT made a second trip to the MMOC before the ACE beginning of track and manually started the ACE procedure. IMPACT: The WIND procedure was started 1 hour 30 minutes after beginning of track. Since WIND playback is started via spacecraft command table, no data loss occurred. The ACE procedure was started before beginning of track and commanding activities were performed as scheduled. The cron problem was resolved on DOY 152, when the mmocfot password was reset. Background information: The MMOC software runs from the mmocfot account. Each user is given an individual account for accessing the computer. With the mmocfot account expired, the cron utility was not able to start new processes, but individual accounts were able to unlock the computer and manually start procedures.
