https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=217055 Bug ID: 217055 Summary: Consolidate random sleeps in periodic scripts Product: Base System Version: CURRENT Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: conf Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: asomers@FreeBSD.org On my system, there are three separate periodic scripts that try to sleep for a random amount of time to reduce congestion on a download server somewhere: 300.statistics (from sysutils/bsdstat), 410.pkg-audit (from ports-mgmt/pkg), and 480.leapfile-ntpd (from the base). There may be more throughout the ports tree. A single sleep would be sufficient, but if all three scripts decide to sleep, the total sleep time can get quite long. I propose we add a 000.anticongestion periodic script, enabled by default for daily, weekly, and monthly. It will sleep for 0 - 60 minutes, unless periodic is being run interactively. Then we can remove the sleep in 480.leapfile-ntpd, and conditionalize the ports sleeps on __FreeBSD_version. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
