In case of Toolforge Grid failure[edit]
If the fileprotectionsync
job is stuck in the grid queue (wikitech:Open Grid Engine), use the following instructions to resume the regularly programmed schedule:
# Log in on the server $ ssh tools-login.wmflabs.org $ become krinklebot # Inspect the logs (recently modified?) $ ls -l fileprotectionsync.* -rw-rw---- 1 tools.krinklebot tools.krinklebot 48719 Oct 14 22:52 fileprotectionsync.err -rw-rw---- 1 tools.krinklebot tools.krinklebot 82040 Oct 14 22:52 fileprotectionsync.out # Check the log contents # If recent log entries contains only "job named .. already active" lines, it means that # the grid queue is stuck. Kill the ghost processes to restore the schedule. $ tail fileprotectionsync.* ==> fileprotectionsync.err <== Updating page [[Commons:Auto-protected files/wikipedia/fr]] via API [Tue Oct 14 22:58:50 2014] there is a job named 'fileprotectionsync' already active [Tue Oct 14 22:58:52 2014] there is a job named 'fileprotectionsync' already active ==> fileprotectionsync.out <== http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=images&titles=Main+Page&imlimit=500&redirects&format=json http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=images&titles=Wikipedia%3AMain+Page%2FTomorrow&imlimit=500&redirects&format=json # Look for active processes $ qstat ------ 0.00000 fileprotec tools.krinkl ** 00/00/0000 00:00:00 ------ 0.00000 fileprotec tools.krinkl ** 00/00/0000 00:00:00 # Run "jstop fileprotectionsync" as many times as there are entries for it $ jstop fileprotectionsync $ jstop fileprotectionsync # There should never be more than one entry due to `jsub -once`, but # when it's stuck there tends to also be more than one entry (somehow). # Verify that crontab.txt and `crontab -l` match $ crontab -l $ cat crontab.txt # The bot will now automatically restart within 15minutes (per cron schedule)
If the grid is entirely unresponsive, you can run it manually:
$ ./liveprotect-run.sh
