I think the primary problem is that users keep running bot scripts on it, when they shouldn't, and I think the easy solution would be to implement a killer, which kills all scripts started on tools-login when the user logs off, or if it has been running for more than 15 minutes. It's okay to run it on -login quickly to understand how it will interact with the labs environment, but it's not supposed to be permanent. Another seemingly recurring problem, and I'm guilty of it too is when users pointlessly leave shell sessions open. That's also a security risk, and a shell should automatically terminate on labs, if it's been inactive for 30 mintues.
Just my thoughts.

I've moved tools-login.wmflabs.org to a new bastion host with twice the RAM and CPU of the old one. This should hopefully provide a better bandaid against it getting overloaded up. More discussion about a longer term solution at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T131541 You can find new fingerprints at https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:SSH_Fingerprints/tools-login.wmflabs.org Apologies for the interruption! I'll leave the old bastion up at tools-bastion-05.eqiad.wmflabs. -- Yuvi Panda T http://yuvi.in/blog _______________________________________________ Labs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/labs-l _______________________________________________ Labs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/labs-l
