I have been doing a lot of editing of content to my site & have noticed that the runJobs.php script seems to be only running when I manually do it.
Is there a logging process for those scripts performance?
I'm not sure. But I imagine it would be very useful for you to monitor the size of the queue over time. It may appear that jobs are not being run if the queue has grown so big that it takes forever for new jobs to be dequeued.
I thought that all the mediawiki maintenance utilities were run by mediawiki as needed to keep the site up to date with the maintenance the massive editing generates. I've searched the web for info on this but have found little to suggest that any of these scripts are in fact automated. Can someone advise if that is the case?
The docs seem to cover this already: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Job_queue
Also, of course check your error logs and take a look at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:How_to_debug
