convert meronense @reboot cron jobs to systemd services
meronense frequently has need-restart warnings for cron.service
due to two @reboot
cron jobs. because we can't just let needrestart take care of things, or restart the services manually, TPA needs to find someone on the metrics team to restart the services, or we need to reboot the whole server. that's disruptive to both the metrics team, and TPA. rather than living with those disruptions (or just ignoring the nagios warning), we should convert those cron jobs to a systemd service.
the jobs are metrics-web-start
and metrics-web-start-rserve
defined in tor-puppet/modules/profile/manifests/metrics.pp
. they should be simple enough to convert, they each just cd
into a directory and then run a script. i think the biggest concern with converting them is checking in with the metrics team and making sure they're okay with the change, and making sure that nothing breaks.
