Hello all, in the last 3 days I spent a few hours a day to enforce the new rule (starting on willow). I wrote many emails and commented-out even more cron-lines. I learned a few thing doing so (for example some users think that 1 cron-line for a bot is not enough, that some users still uses our old phoenix and newtask programs, and some users seems to do cron-task-sharing…). Until now nobody lost his account, but I killed all misbehaving bots. The load on willow is now appreciable lower than before (the rebooted helped there too of course). It's a more or less boring task and you would REALLY help me if you convert your stuff to SGE yourself, before I kill and disable your bot. If you find that your bot was disabled you are allowed to re-enable it IF you convert it to SGE FIRST! Don't make me find a bot I disabled before running without SGE – you and I would hate that.
To say something positive: I found also bots using SGE (few, but I found). Sincerely, DaB. -- Userpage: [[:w:de:User:DaB.]] — PGP: 0x2d3ee2d42b255885
