Hello,
I just noticed that my "welcome" crons have stopped running. Looking at "top", it seems that the server's CPU is fully used, all the time. Includes several instances of : -user rez : ~/pywikipedia/zzfawikipatroler.py, ~/pywikipedia/zzavanegary.py, ~/pywikipedia/zznavbox.py -user javadyou : ~/pywikipedia/radeh7.py
I'm afraid that's one or more of those scripts have a misformed cron/parameters that keeps opening new ones while the old aren't terminated, hogging the CRON for themselves.

Sounds like the right time for another rule about pywikipedia bots like we have the one about interwiki bots.

Our current ailment isn't linked to pywiki (nor any framework in particular), but to bad pratice and use of the cron system.

I dont think so,most of these are custom bots written using pywiki. I would just suggest trouting the users

For the record, sun crontab seems to be working again since 15:50 UTC.
