Bug ID: 46476
Summary: Running dispatchChanges as cronjob doesn't close down
as expected
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: WikidataRepo
Assignee: wikidata-b...@lists.wikimedia.org
Reporter: jeb...@gmail.com

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
When dispatchChanges.php is run as a cronjob it seems like it (as least
sometimes) doesn't close down as expected, and then doesn't release the
database connections. After a while MySQL then runs out of free connections,
and then Mediawiki and other processes on the server grinds to a halt.
Either a PID-file should be used to stop new processes from starting, or a
proper close should be done, or a proper daemon should be made. Restarting new
processes from crontab without knowing if the previous ones are properly closed
is bad.
