Just to clarify, are you saying that the VPS's on Faustino were shutdown
then restarted... then later on you did a suspend/restore?
I've got a boot script (in /etc/rc.local) that sends me an SMS upon
(re)boot... This occured so I was just wondering when the suspend/restore
occured? (Apologies if I'm being a dumbass with the timeline of what
happened here)

Yep, thanks for that - mine had indeed sulked.

In light of what happened I'd prefer a normal shutdown/boot given the more
predictable effects.
Thanks as always for keeping us up-to-date with what's happening/happened.
