[FWD: ** PROBLEM Service Alert: squeak box2/Squeak website is CRITICAL **]

Janko,

I would appreciate it if Nagios started sending these to the webteam
mailing list rather than me directly.  Feel free to also send them to
the box-admins mailing list.  All you would need to do is subscribe
nagios@... and disable delivery.

Thanks,

Ken

I tried to simply restart the the image/process and apparently that was
not sufficient as it is still not responding.  Frankly I don't have time
to deal with this today and it is really the webteam's responsibility to
ensure this service works.  If you need to restore from a backup it can
be found in /var/cache/rsnapshot/ .  daily.0 is the most recent backup.

RE: [Box-Admins] Re: squeak.org is down

Yes, it was just the website process, which I have now restarted.

Freeing up space on the server, I need your help

Webteam,

The diskusage on the server crossed 92% today and I decided it was time
to free up some space.  I note that in ~website/images/ there is 1.2GB
of content that all appears to date back to at least 2008.  Does this
need to be on the server?  If not I would like to delete it.  If you
decide to delete it don't just delete it and leave it at that as I also
need to delete it from the local backup or it will continue to persist
there and use up another 1.2GB+ of space.

Thanks,

Ken

Re: Fwd: [Box-Admins] Looks like the site's down: Fwd: ** PROBLEM Service Alert: squeak box2/Squeak website is CRITICAL **

Hi guys,

Website is back online. Last what I seen was some out of memory warning
on VNC window, even that Memory monitor didn't show any excessive memory
usage. Image was stil alive but unresponsive. So I shut it down and
restart.

Best regards
Janko

VM dump?  I'm not sure what you mean.  The VM does not crash, the image
is simply locked up.  It's probable that I could have interrupted it
with alt-. but that doesn't seem to work over VNC.

No website process active?  You are mistaken and have created a second
one now:

That's two VNC servers running now and two website processes active. 
Did you think I didn't test the website after I restarted it?

Re: [Box-Admins] RE: [FWD: ** PROBLEM Service Alert: squeak box2/Squeak website is CRITICAL **]

Hi guys,

This fast growing image problem could be cause because of Dos attack, So
Sean, go looking there if there you'll see some enormous amount of
requests from our site and specially, are they coming from there same
IP. Knowing that IP we can narrower the culpit closer.

Past two image crashes were caused by image not snapshoting every hour.
We switched snapshoting off a time ago and forgot to switch on, ok, now
it is on again.

Best regards
Janko

I happen to be awake and online during this event, still on-going: 
appearance of the process in top:

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND    

                                                
10856 website   25   0 1027m 753m 3324 R 94.2 79.5  82:28.27

UTF-8 -plugins /usr/local/lib/squeak/3.11.3-2135 /home/website/w ...

as you can see it is pegging the CPU and using a lot of memory (in no
more than a minute it has gone from about 700MB to over 750MB).  I'll
watch it for a few minutes but I am almost certainly going to have to
kill it and restart.  I hope you have been saving....

Thanks.  So, by my understanding, if we wait to do the condense as one
of first steps for 4.3, then the "4.2 release" can be present itself
in terms of its predecessor.  I have really enjoyed having that during
4.2 and think it's relevant even after release; it seems good to keep
delta's with the prior version in each release, especially since it's
not very costly.

That is only an old, incidental copy of the license, not the official
statement about license from Squeak.

Fixed: "Error: Attempt to evaluate a block that is already being evaluated"

Janko,

That error "Error: Attempt to evaluate a block that is already being
evaluated" came up again and so I decided to take a look.  I'm almost
certain the cause is that you defined a #startUp method on SpEnvironment
class that is meant to be executed whenever the image starts up.  This
is fine and good except that the way this mechanism works a message
#startUp: with a boolean argument indicating whether or not this is a
true startup (aka resuming) indicated by true, or whether this is simply
after a snapshot is made, indicated by false, is sent.  Sort of odd I
guess but the same mechanism is used for quitting and snapshotting.
Behavior defines #startUp: to simply send #startUp and so your existing
implementation worked but it was also being called after a snapshot and
not a true restart.

So I defined #startUp: on SpEnvironment class that only takes the action
if the argument is true.  I left the old #startUp for now, though it
should no longer be used and I left a browser open on the added method
so you can look at it and modify as appropriate if you like.  I did not
update any packages so you will want to take care of that also.

Ken
