Default Where did it go?

E-S has some routine where the server is "paused",
some activity takes place, and the server is put
back online again.

The administrator is having a problem with that,
a recent problem. The server enters the "paused"
state at the scheduled time, but the server does
not go back to the online state again on its own.
The administrator is not staring at the screen
when this happens, and mostly the server is
scripted for all the behaviors. It's only when
the thing screws up like it is, that it needs
debug and work.

Both E-S and AIOE are in a COLO, and not in the
administrators basement. They cannot physically
touch the server, because it is under lock and key.
They can only "remote in" and work on it.
