I came to work today and seems like the slave server died. (power trip?
No it was not connected to a UPS :-()

I've not been able to locate/determine if the slave is really dead or
otherwise and it's the weekend in Asia and there's no one in the office
till Next week.

As of now, the master is still trying to contact the slave (slon is
still running on the master) and log_1 and log_2 is filling up.

And yesterday, I just created a job to manually force the log_switch to
occur. So, right now, I'm at a loss as to what i can do.
