Hi,

I got the email below telling me that my cron job running as william-avery-bot had throw an error, and I noticed that the Grid job that it kicks off hasn't run since.

I tried deleting the job using the instructions at https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Toolforge/Grid#Stopping_jobs_with_%... but it appeared "stuck".

"qstat -xml" outputs the following: <?xml version='1.0'?> <job_info xmlns:xsd=" http://arc.liv.ac.uk/repos/darcs/sge/source/dist/util/resources/schemas/qsta... "> <queue_info> <job_list state="running"> <JB_job_number>9999749</JB_job_number> <JAT_prio>0.25319</JAT_prio> <JB_name>cron-TaxonbarSyncerBot</JB_name> <JB_owner>tools.william-avery-bot</JB_owner> <state>dr</state> <JAT_start_time>2021-03-25T17:49:16</JAT_start_time> <queue_name>task@tools-sgeexec-0916.tools.eqiad.wmflabs</queue_name> <slots>1</slots> </job_list> </queue_info> <job_info> </job_info> </job_info>

But when I ssh to tools-sgeexec-0916.tools.eqiad.wmflabs I see no sign of any processes under tools.william-avery-bot, except the ones associated with my interactive session.

Can anyone help resolve this or advise of a venue to raise it?

Thanks in advance,

Will
