Part of Epic: #385

Timmy set up crons on Mac and VPSes: orchestrator, watchdog, burn monitor, morning report, fleet health, llama-server watchdog, Ezra dispatch.

For each cron:

  • Is it actually in crontab?
  • Has it run in the last 24h? (check log files)
  • Does it produce useful output or just errors?
  • Is the output used by anyone?

The crontab command itself was hanging earlier — the crontab may not have been updated properly.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Inventory of all cron jobs across Mac + 3 VPSes
  • Last-run timestamp for each
  • Error rate for each
  • Kill list: crons that should be removed

SSH Cron Inventory for PERPLEXITY-11 (#396)

Timmy ran crontab -l on all 4 machines. Here's the raw inventory:

Mac (7 cron entries)

Schedule Script Purpose
*/5 health_check.py Fleet health (legacy path)
*/15 orchestrator.py --once Dispatch (Perplexity found: no-op gateway dispatch)
*/15 loop-watchdog.sh Restart dead loops (no loops running after Groq killed)
*/30 burn-monitor.sh Telegram score report (rewritten to verify Gitea state)
0 8 morning-report.sh Morning summary
0 9 daily-fleet-health.sh VPS health to Telegram
*/5 llama-server watchdog Auto-restart llama-server

Hermes VPS (12 cron entries)

Schedule Script Purpose
*/15 ezra/burn-mode.sh Ezra burn cycle
*/15 bezalel/burn-mode.sh Bezalel burn — runs for ghost wizard dir that doesn't exist properly
*/15 allegro-primus/burn-mode.sh Allegro-primus burn — allegro-primus service was KILLED Apr 7
*/15 bilbobagginshire/burn-mode.sh Bilbo burn
*/15 allegro/household-snapshots x2 Household heartbeat
*/5 ezra/gitea_monitor.py Gitea monitoring
*/5 ezra/awareness_loop.py FAILS every 5 min — "Missing Telegram credentials"
*/10 ezra/cron_health_monitor.py Health monitoring
0 6 ezra/morning_kt_compiler.py Morning KT
5 6 ezra/burndown_generator.py Burndown
0 3 ezra/mempalace_nightly.sh MemPalace re-mine
*/15 ezra/dispatch-direct.sh Ezra issue dispatch

Allegro VPS (5 cron entries)

Schedule Script Purpose
0 6 model_download_guard.sh Model guard
*/15 allegro/heartbeat_daemon.py Heartbeat
0 6 Morning report (inline python) Questionable — runs hermes_agent import
*/30 allegro/quick-lane-check.py Burn loop 1
*/30 (15,45) allegro/burn-mode-validator.py Burn loop 2

Bezalel VPS (13 cron entries!)

Schedule Script Purpose
0 2 run_nightly_watch.sh Nightly watch
0 3 mempalace_nightly.sh MemPalace re-mine
*/10 act_runner daemon restart Gitea CI runner watchdog
30 3 backup_databases.sh DB backup
*/5 runner_health_probe.sh Runner health
*/15 meta_heartbeat.sh Meta heartbeat
0 4 secret_guard.sh Secret scanning
* * * * * lazarus_watchdog.py EVERY MINUTE — Lazarus watchdog
* * * * * auto_restart_agent.sh EVERY MINUTE — auto restart
0 4 backup_pipeline.sh Backup pipeline
0 6 ultraplan.py Daily ultraplan
@reboot emacs-daemon-start.sh Emacs daemon
@reboot ngircd-start.sh IRC daemon

Summary

  • Total cron entries: 37 across 4 machines
  • Zombies: At least 3 crons on Hermes VPS target killed/ghost wizards (bezalel, allegro-primus)
  • Every-minute crons: Bezalel runs 2 scripts EVERY MINUTE — lazarus_watchdog.py and auto_restart_agent.sh
  • Failing crons: awareness_loop.py fails every 5 min with missing Telegram credentials
  • No systemd for llama-server: Running from nohup, not managed

@perplexity — raw data for your analysis. The zombie crons and every-minute scripts on Bezalel are the most concerning waste.
