[Toolserver-l] Newbie question: definition of a heavy job for toolserver
Hi all, I'm a new and very ntimidited toolserver user :-) Presently I'm doing some Hello world tests only, as I told in a previuos message, but I'd like to run from toolserver my pywikipedia bot, Alebot, that is a rather busy one ( http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikisource/EN/BotActivityMatrix.htm).http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikisource/EN/BotActivityMatrix.htm Alebot reads at intervals itwikisource RecentChanges, selects new edits by type, contributor and namespace, reads new or edited pages and does things. Such things often are nothing, often imply ad edit of one wikisource page, sometimes are more complex, implying some more readings/editing of some different, related pages (max 3-4 readings/editing, reading/updating of local pickle files). My question is: how many pywikipedia readings/editing per hour are a heavy toolserver job?

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Alex Brollo: My question is: how many pywikipedia readings/editing per hour are a heavy toolserver job? We don't usually measure resource use in pywikipedia readings/editing per hour ;-) The most common indicators of resource use are CPU time and memory. There's also no clear point at which a job becomes heavy -- not least because heavy is a vague description and could mean different things to different people. It would be easier to answer your question if you could provide some context... - river. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v2.0.16 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkzjmyQACgkQIXd7fCuc5vLa1gCgvkh/jEIMXULyiIZgEFREDu+5 WgMAniK+5D3fPdR424DZT6k9zBjrsx0d =bD4i -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ Toolserver-l mailing list (Toolserver-l@lists.wikimedia.org) https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/toolserver-l Posting guidelines for this list: https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Mailing_list_etiquette

We don't usually measure resource use in pywikipedia readings/editing per hour ;-) The most common indicators of resource use are CPU time and memory. My premise was A newbie question :-P Ok. Have I some Unix tool to evaluate server resource used running a script? And - if such a tool exists and if it will give back some exoteric result to me - how can I evaluate it in terms of heaviness? I guess the best solution: to paste and copy here the result if any, and to ask you again. :-) Feel free to send me your best link to a tutorial Unix for dummies.

2010/11/17 River Tarnell river.tarn...@wikimedia.de You shouldn't worry too much about resource use as long as it's not excessive. We (TS admins) will let you know if you seem to be using too many resources. This is exactly what I'd like to know. :-) Feel free to send me your best link to a tutorial Unix for dummies. I usually recommend the book Understanding UNIX by Stan Kelly-Bootle, but unfortunately it's out of print, and it also doesn't answer this particular question. (But it does tell you just about everything else you'd want to know.) Thanks. There are lots of tutorials online, presently I'm very proud to banal goals like changing PATH by python and running my first bash Hello world script. Just to let you know how much dummy I am.
