[Regression] BigBrother isn't handling jstart
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

The ecmabot tools account has an irc bot that should always be running. It used to run jstart from a crontab, but was converted to .bigbrotherrc per the current guidelines.

$ cat .bigbrotherrc 
jstart -N ecmabot-wm -quiet -stderr -mem 1700M -o /dev/null node ~/apps/oftn-bot/wm-ecmabot.js

$ qstat

$ l

Nothing in qstat, and no errors or log files in the home directory from jsub or bigbrother.

I'm pretty certain that during the NFS outage, bigbrother was restarted and didn't find an existing job for ecmabot, thus running into T88122.
