UK Kosmos Tasks

Updating templates

The templates and Mir code are checked out as an anon user on kosmos.

To update the setup_uk templates (to update just one file or directory specify that - updating everything could be dangerous if someone has committed broken stuff...)

  $ cd /var/www/uk.indymedia.de/setup_uk/
  $ sudo -u uk cvs up -dP

Then you need to run ant:

  $ cd /var/www/uk.indymedia.de/mir
  $ sudo -u uk ant

And then set off jobs in the admin interface as needs be.

Fixing hung syncs

First see what is running:

  $ ps -lA | grep rsync

If a sync is running you should get something like this:

  100 S    33 21757 21587  0  76   0 -   514 114fef pts/48   00:00:00 rsync-uk-fast
  040 S    33 21758 21757  0  76   0 -   547 114fef pts/48   00:00:00 rsync-uk-fast
  000 S    33 21795 21758  0  99  19 -   386 14bdfa pts/48   00:00:00 rsync

Before killing a hung sync job and manually setting one off please cancel upcomming syncs in the admin interface -- you don't want one to start just before you set one off.

Then kill the uk sync and delete the lock file:

  $ sudo killall rsync-uk-fast
  $ sudo rm /tmp/rsynclock.uk.ahimsa

Then manually run a full sync:

  $ cd /home/uk/bin
  $ sudo -u www-data ./rsync-uk-full

Restarting tomcat

You shouldn't need to do this... but... if you do:

  $ sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat4 restart

Sometimes it doesn't restart properly and it's better to stop (repeat stop till it is really stopped) it and then start it:

  $ sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat4 stop
  $ sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat4 start

Cities list updating

This is done with a shell script in /home/uk/bin which does this:

  #!/bin/bash

  # This is a quick hack based on this: 
  # http://lists.cat.org.au/pipermail/catgeek/2003-March/004013.html

  # make a backup
  # mv /home/uk/setup_uk/etc/producer/cities.inc /home/uk/bak/cities-`date +%d-%m-%y`

  # get a new list
  wget -q -O /home/uk/cities.inc http://www.indymedia.org/cities.inc

  # copy it 
  cp /home/uk/cities.inc /var/www/uk.indymedia.de/site/cities.inc

To run it on the command line do this:

  $ cd /home/uk/bin/
  $ sudo -u uk ./cities-update.sh

This script id run via cron, to edit this:

  $ sudo -u uk crontab -e

  0 06 * * *              /home/uk/bin/cities-update.sh
