I'm getting this:
-sh: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable
-sh: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable
-sh: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable
-sh: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable
-sh: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable
whenever I try something on shell.sonic.net . Any way to fix this?

I fixed this. Apparently, I had too many processes under my username. I killed all the old shells that were backgrounded. Now it works.

Common newbie mistake. Ctrl-C kills a process, Ctrl-Z suspends.
