In case of Toolforge job failure

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.

$ ssh login.toolforge.org
$ become krinklebot

Then, inspect the logs. Were they recently modified?

$ ls -l fileprotectionsync.*
-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:

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

Running:

$ toolforge jobs list
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:

$ toolforge jobs restart fileprotectionsync

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

$ toolforge jobs load ~/src/fileprotectionsync/jobs.yaml --job fileprotectionsync

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