46532 - more frequent syncs of ftp.mozilla.org in 11am hour

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description

[Jon Granrose]

The mozilla smoketests are taking longer now that ftp.mozilla.org syncs once a
hour.  The mac builds don't usually finish til 11:30, so they're not showing up
until about 12:30 or so (haven't shown up yet and they've been on there over an
hour).

Is it possible to modify the sync schedule so that it syncs two or three times
between 10:30am and noon M-F?  This would make it that much easier to get the
tree open in the morning.

Steve, could you look into this? The stuff is in drpepper's cron. Put it to run 
every 15 minutes between 10am and noon.

I've added an extra entry to the crontab on drpepper to run some
extra syncs between 10am and noon.  Relevant crontab entries now
look like:

15 * * * * /usr/bin/perl5 /share/systems/scripts/sync_ftp.mozilla.org.pl >
/dev/null 2>&1
0,30,45 10,11 * * * /usr/bin/perl5
/share/systems/scripts/sync_ftp.mozilla.org.pl
 > /dev/null 2>&1

Risto, is there a reason that the perl script uses rsync
from your home directory instead of a standard place??
Let me know...

Thanks Steve... no there's no reason other than there wasn't one available on 
drpepper at that time. But I think I've linked my tools to /opt/tools - if not I 
think we should do that.

There's rsync we want to use. We need to be sure we're using same versions 
because I've seen some problems with syncing if there are different version on 
server than client. /tools/ns/bin/rsync (if exists) is probably out-of-date and 
shouldn't be used IMHO.
