KrinkleBot is a bot that keeps Commons:Auto-protected files up to date. Check last edits to determine whether the bot is working. It is scheduled to automatically run once every 10-20 minutes.

Operators:

• User:AntiCompositeNumber
• User:Legoktm
• User:Steinsplitter
• User:Krinkle

If the continuous fileprotectionsync process got stuck somehow within the Toolforge jobs system (wikitech:Help:Toolforge/Jobs framework), then follow the below instructions to get things back on track.

First, log in to the server.

$ sshlogin.toolforge.org
$ becomekrinklebot

Then, inspect the logs. Were they recently modified?

$ ls-lfileprotectionsync.*
-rw-rw---- 1 tools.krinklebot tools.krinklebot 48719 Oct 14 22:52 fileprotectionsync.err
-rw-rw---- 1 tools.krinklebot tools.krinklebot 82040 Oct 14 22:52 fileprotectionsync.out

Check to see if there is a fileprotectionsync job scheduled or running:

Scheduled:

$ toolforgejobslist
Job name: Job type: Status:
------------------ ---------------------- ----------------------------------------
fileprotectionsync schedule: */10 * * * * Last schedule time: 2023-09-19T01:50:00Z

Running:

$ toolforgejobslist
Job name: Job type: Status:
------------------ ---------------------- ---------------
fileprotectionsync schedule: */10 * * * * Running for 58s

If a job has been running for more than a few minutes, try restarting it:

$ toolforgejobsrestartfileprotectionsync

If that doesn't work, or there is no fileprotectionsync job scheduled at all, reload the job.

$ toolforgejobsload~/src/fileprotectionsync/jobs.yaml--jobfileprotectionsync

The bot should now automatically resume within 10 minutes (per the cronjob schedule).
