Unplaned rebooting of linux-servers
by DaB. 15 Aug '09

15 Aug '09

Hello all, to make sure that CVE-2009-2692 is fixed after the kernel-update, I rebooted all linux-servers (that's nightshade, wolfsbane and cassini) tonight. The downtime was fewer then 5 minutes. Sincerly, DaB. -- wp-blog.de

JIRA and Fisheye down?
by James R. 06 Aug '09

06 Aug '09

I was just trying to access https://jira.toolserver.org/ and https://fisheye.toolserver.org/ and I'm getting a "problem loading page: the server at jira.toolserver.org is taking too long to respond" error. Is there any planned downtime which I was unaware of? Thanks. -- Regards, JamesR English Wikipedia Administrator http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:JamesR

Unplaned reboot of nightshade
by DaB. 06 Aug '09

06 Aug '09

Hello all, I had to reboot nightshade unplaned, because I broke the /dev and no login where possible anymore (I guess it broke many other things too). Users told me, that the reboot-message was not received too, sorry again. Sinclery, DaB. -- wp-blog.de

Re: [Toolserver-l] where's enwiki_p on s1?
by Lilewyn 06 Aug '09

06 Aug '09

That was my not looking first. <s>MZMcBride</s>Another, to be unnamed, toolserver user just informed me that there was such a text box on the page. I mentioned to the channel this conversation was in that I made the note while waiting for status.toolserver.org to load (it still hasn't, so presumably the issue is local). Sarcasm would be when it was suggested to me that I see if there's a "status.status.toolserver.org" while I wait. ~ Kylu Date: Wed, 5 Aug 2009 23:47:41 +0200 From: "DaB." <WP(a)daniel.baur4.info> Subject: Re: [Toolserver-l] where's enwiki_p on s1?

Phoenix appending stdout to .out file
by Mike.lifeguard 05 Aug '09

05 Aug '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I have been using phoenix and cron to keep my IRC bots alive for some time, however I never previously needed to see their output. The bots are written in python, and use print(), which sends data to stdout. When running in terminal or screen for example, this is the screen. However, when using phoenix, the claim is that stdout is redirected to be appended to a .out file. However, it seems not to actually be doing that, and the outfile contains only phoenix's output (useless, can we have a --quiet option?), and not the output of the bot (useful). I've also become a tad confused with the crontab entries. Currently, they have >/dev/null so emails aren't sent ten thousand times a day or whatever - would this also redirect the output of the actual python script? An answer here, or on https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Phoenix would be most welcome. Thanks, - -Mike.lifeguard -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkp5BqoACgkQst0AR/DaKHvaugCbBGpbsd4CPiuzFFpSjCF2d18O iRgAoJY7jquVnY3AWigSZPPY2Sa5C0f+ =GASa -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

The Norwegian toolserver
by Lars Aronsson 05 Aug '09

05 Aug '09

Earlier this spring, there was some talk, perhaps within the newly founded Wikimedia Norway chapter, to set up a common server in Norway for analysing database dumps and running bot scripts, i.e. a toolserver with everything except the database replication. Did this happen? Are there a bunch of such servers around the world today? Is there a list of such servers? Should we encourage people to do this, or should we try to concentrate work (and pool resources) to the (real / German) toolserver? Concentrating to fewer servers has the advantage that people can get a single account there, and join each project that is already there. Distributing over multiple, independent servers has the advantage of offloading the central server. It might also seem like an attractive project for a new Wikimedia chapter, since a server of their own looks like an achievement in itself. But it is also a waste of resources to maintain separate servers, if these resources could instead be pooled. -- Lars Aronsson (lars(a)aronsson.se) Aronsson Datateknik - http://aronsson.se
