Now that I've knocked out a few MM bugs, other interesting trends are emerging. Why are the app* servers running all these in cron.daily? The combination of these take approximately 2 hours, and show up very noticibly on the collectd graphs. I'm not sure which ones are the most IO-intensive for that duration - I haven't caught it during the run to watch. logrotate - arguably necessary, unless this is done centrally instead? makewhatis.cron - we don't have many manpages on the app servers, and don't change them that often. Daily? Really? prelink - we don't start apps that often - they're mostly long-running. rkhunter - arguably necessary rpm - again, daily? Unclear what this serves us. It's just a file listing all the RPMs installed at that moment in time. tetex.cron - looks like it'd go fast, so no big deal. But why do we have tetex-fonts installed on the app servers? tmpwatch - good to have Something to consider revising after the freeze?
