Reported: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17534 Fixed the cron job for real this time... there were misleading log file entries which indicated the problem was different. :P Actual bug was obsolete hardcoded paths in the batch scripts -- attempting to run PHP from /usr/local/bin and grabbing the cluster id from /etc/cluster which we apparently no longer use on new machines? I've started a manual run of the small-wikis updates. Large wikis will continue on their regular schedule. -- brion ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

Brion, you might want to double-check that. The regular schedule would have had the special pages on enwiki updated today (13 Feb), early morning US time, but so far it has not happened. ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
