`vall` seems to be up, but not running as a buildslave. I rebooted `vall`, but even so it is still not connecting to buildbot server. Is anyone changing `vall`?

the machine is currently not on UPS and hence force shuts down on power outage. Seems like that left a `twistd.pid` file in `/home/kitware/dashboards/buildbot` and that was causing a new buildslave to start. I removed the file and restarted the machine and now it’s working.

`vall` has been paused. I am debugging some Qt-OpenGL widget issues showing up on dashboards on that machine that I can’t reproduce locally.
