[SAC] projects.osgeo.org VM cron failing?

Committees SAC mailing list

Folks,

It seems that cron jobs have not been running for me on the projects VM
since roughly May 1st. In the syslog I see stuff like:

May 18 06:26:01 projects CRON[3254]: pam_ldap: ldap_simple_bind Can't contact LDAP server
May 18 06:26:01 projects CRON[3254]: pam_ldap: reconnecting to LDAP server...
May 18 06:26:02 projects CRON[3254]: pam_ldap: ldap_simple_bind Can't contact LDAP server

Is it possible something changed that might be related to this? My
"crontab -l" looks ok to me. Possibly something about how the ldap server
is setup?

Best regards,
--

The LDAP server appears to be working quite nicely .... if it were
broke, we'd have been flooded with complaints :slight_smile:
I'd simply recommend restarting the cron daemon (will do that right
now) - ok, looks like this helps.

Cheers,
