FRS7667. Hugh, Jim, Dave
we have tracked the daily/weekly HEPI pump controller glitches to when crond deamon runs anacron/logwatch job at 04:02 daily and 04:22 weekly on Sunday.
When the clock was fixed at EY from being 7 hours 34 minutes in the future yesterday, today's EY glitch happened at exactly 04:02 PDT (and not 20:44 PDT as it was prior).
We are investigating 1) how can a cron job cause this issue and 2) can we just turn crond off safely.
attached image shows today's EY glitch at 11:02 UTC (04:02 PDT)
I've gone through the path of what cron and anacron do each day and each week. I've culled the list down to the following on h1hpipumpctrley:
hourly : no actions (no change)
daily: only log rotate (removed 8 actions)
weekly: no actions (removed 2 actions)
Lets run the rest of the week with this EY mod to see if it reduces the glitches.
