For the past 2 days I've been flooded with e-mails like these:

I spoke about willow, and there crontab didn't work (I don't receive any
mails from cron (everything goes to /dev/null), but I write log files).
I don't know what's the case with nightshade. I didn't thought about it
because I changed my cron and on another MMP project crontab never
worked on willow (only cronie), so I thought it's some problem with
crontab. So I thought it was only my problem and switched to cronie for
my user account, too (and it worked again). But then a mail was written
by Danny. So it seems to be a general problem with crontab on willow.

Well, Danny was talking about nightshade. It is indeed the case that in 
willow crontab and cronie are different processes, and sometimes crontab 
dies (seems to be running, though).

I just noticed the text when you login:

"Users are now encouraged to use job scheduling (SGE) for *all* tools!"

Perhaps "encouraged" is no longer the right way to write it?

I've been busy and sick so I did not manage to rewrite my tasks so I stopped 
them all instead. Perhaps someone could create a tool to extend the number of 
hours per day? :-D

There was an announcement on toolserver-l a while back about a new rule that 
should be in effect now, which should resolve some of these

By looking at [1] you

are able to see that the strange behaviour started somewhen week
2 and 3 (mid January).

Sorry, I don't see anything. All I see is that the maximum number
of cronjobs varies more since a few weeks (but we are way from the
number in autumn if you look at the year-graph).

Before mid January we had a stable plateau (more or less constant
values of jobs per time).
- From then it started breaking down - in fact this is just a guess from
looking at the data - before it was way more stable...


Do we have again cron (the server) running out of memory or what
is the issue here? DaB can you may be give some hints here? Or
someone else?

I checked hawthorn and there are a few memory-problems at
peak-times. I will see if I can add another patch.

To mention the memory as possible issue was just a guess, but there is
definately something wrong and not working as usual.

Thanks for your time DaB and greetings!

Now it works again as you can see from looking at [1] there was clearly
a drop in executed jobs now it is on a constant level again! Cool!

Both where on willow AFAIS, which is overloaded.

Sorry, I don't see anything. All I see is that the maximum number of cronjobs 
varies more since a few weeks (but we are way from the number in autumn if you 
look at the year-graph).

I checked hawthorn and there are a few memory-problems at peak-times. I will 
see if I can add another patch.

Hello!

There were 2 messages here during Janury reporting problems with cron.
I am now noticing issues with my cronjobs too. By looking at [1] you
are able to see that the strange behaviour started somewhen week 2 and
3 (mid January). Do we have again cron (the server) running out of
memory or what is the issue here? DaB can you may be give some hints

It looks like my password file for pywikipedia was killed in some sort of
fashion because I was prompted for my bot's login. You may want to check
this. All using pywikipedia might want to check this as it was the same

I'm using cronie, and some of my cron jobs didn't start last night. More
annoying failure are silent, I didn't noticed them until someone pointed
out than some statistics were not updated.

It was given as an aside, not as a solution although I guess you could

It is, but something is not right. The line

at the beginning of my crontab is not being executed.  The script runs
fine from the command line on the same host (and a script error should

That's not particularly relevant for people who have set crontabs with

[Toolserver-l] Cron on willow

[Carl (CBM)]

Has anyone else noticed this? I am having problems with cron on
willow, which does not seem to be executing my crontab. I tried to
test it by adding a line to my crontab that should execute every
minute:

* * * * * /home/cbm/touch.sh

That script runs correctly from the command line, but cron does not
seem to execute it.  Some of my other other cronjobs appear not to
have run in a couple days, even though they were working fine for
months before.

the cron-log shows that 3 tasks (1 at 4 o'clock, 2 at 5 o'clock) by you were 
run; there were also emails sent (at 4:18 and 5:05). Please look if you can 
find these emails in your system, if you can't I will start an investigation on 
our systems.

[Toolserver-l] Cron on nightshade

Maybe I just missed any note about that, but is cron on nightshade running or 
not? If yes, it does not send mails.

I moved some jobs from willow to nightshade yesterday and got no email 
confirmation of their running and it seems they actually did not run at all.

[Toolserver-l] cron

[River Tarnell]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi,

Since the switch to Solaris a few people have complained about the Sun 'cron' 
not being very good.  As an alternative to cron, we have now installed 
'cronie', which is the RedHat Linux version of cron.  This is based on Vixie 
cron and offers an almost identical feature set to the old cron on 
nightshade.

To avoid a conflict with the system cron, the cronie crontab command is called 
'cronie'.  To convert your current crontab to a cronietab[0], you can use a 
command like this:

 % crontab -l >crontab  # list existing crontab to file
 % cronie crontab   # install same as a cronietab
 % crontab -r   # remove old crontab

You should probably use either crontab or cronie, but not both, since that 
could be confusing.

[0] Yes, "cronietab" is a fairly stupid name.  Sorry.

There seemed to be a "mail jam", next day I had many messages in my inbox for 
the previous 48 hours.

Thank you for your response, the link you mentioned is very useful.

Were it expired, wouldn't you be unable to log in at all?

 Is that a known issue? What about other users cron?

Please check that your crontab ends with a newline. Consider using nano
to edit the file, since that editor will always end your document with a
newline. If that isn't the case, then cron silently fails exactly in the
manner you described. This is documented at
https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Cron#crontab_syntax

[Toolserver-l] cron stopped working

[Osama KM]

Hello,

cron stopped working yesterday, with no error messages being sent to my email. 
Is that a known issue? What about other users cron?

Thank you!

...and that is exactly the exception I used the cron for - to grep my weblogs 
out of the weblogs :)

no. I didn't moved the crons from hemlock to wolfsbane with intent.  All crons 
should be run on nightshade - the only exception is when you need the 
weblogs.
So I didn't wanted to copy old should-not-be-there and crons of expired users 
to the new webserver.

Sincerly,
DaB.

Related to this, I have just noticed that I have now lost my crontab on 
toolserver.org (that is now wolfbane, but it was hemlock in the past, right?) 
Would it be possible to get it back?

I know that hemlock and nightshade (i.e. login.toolserver.org) have  
different crontabs.
