Comment:
This is actually a release blocker, since the machines can't be fixed
without intervention, and neither I nor hotline will be visiting every
single cluster machine again. If we don't have a solution tomorrow, I
propose we push out the release anyway, with the following addition to
auto-update that gets dropped into cron.hourly:
{{{
#!/bin/bash
UPD_START=$(stat -c "%Y" /var/run/athena-nologin 2>/dev/null)
[ -z "$UPD_START" ] && exit 0
NOW=$(date +"%s")
ELAPSED=$(expr $NOW - $UPD_START)
if [ $ELAPSED -gt 3600 ]; then
pkill -f athena-auto-update
# (or maybe just reboot?)
fi
exit 0
}}}
