1091061 - Silence startpage-dev update cron job

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Infrastructure & Operations Graveyard :: WebOps: Other, task)

Description

[Fred Wenzel [:wenzel]]

I receive an email every ten minutes (rain or shine) from the update cron job on startpageadm.

Subject is this:
"Cron <root@startpageadm> /data/startpage-dev/src/start-dev.allizom.org/update.sh"

Please silence it by default unless an error occurs.

In addition, please take me off the recipients list for this, for the time being.

[Fred Wenzel [:wenzel]]

Actually, this should be an IT bug.

This will send that output to /dev/null and only email if something is logged to stderr.

It's still emailing, presumably because there is stuff being output to stderr. Here's the email content:

Also, Ben, who should receive emails on the 3.6 start page? Not me, but I'm currently the only one on there.

Comment 5

[Ben (:bensternthal)]

Hmm why is there a cronjob running every 10 minutes on a 3.6 start page?

Based on that output.. it looks like it's doing an autodeploy to dev?

Can you point me in the direction of the repo it's pulling from. If we have not updated this page in many moons perhaps turning off the auto deploy is the best approach. I hate wasting electrons.

Comment 6

[C. Liang [:cyliang]]

It looks like this update script does a 'git pull' from //github.com/mozilla/fx36start:

$ git remote -v
origin	https://github.com/mozilla/fx36start (fetch)
origin	https://github.com/mozilla/fx36start (push)

Comment 7

[Ben (:bensternthal)]

Sorry for the delay.

Let's do the following.

1. Please silence this unless there is an error.
2. Remove Fred's email and replace with mine [e-mail]

I need to take a look at how the script is exiting.  Currently, you should only get what is logged to STDERR.  From what :wenzel told me, this script doesn't exit cleanly most of the time.

Comment 9

[Jake Maul [:jakem]]

Should be good now.

all the output in comment 3 is from the 'deploy' script called at the end of the update.sh script. This can be silenced with a "-q" flag (which I added).
