Description

After improving and fixing digests memory usage and robustness, it seems that cron execution is stopped 3-4 times each day. After some debugging, it seems that some users cause the process to die every-day (note that it isn't critical because, after MDL-11657, things will continue in next execution).

But it's far from perfect so I'm debugging a bit more cron execution in order to detect what happens with those users.

Some ids causing problems:

Continuing with debugging... problem with users above happens after:

course setup

and before:

headers

Going to add some more debug in that part of the digests cron.

After some more days of logging problematic users... they remain constant.

All them are pl_utf8 and vi_utf8 users so I've reviewed all the "digest*" strings in that languages trying to find something wrong.

Also, I've updated the server lang packs to see if this stops the problem with that users definitively. Let's see what happens.

Same continues happening with same users intermittently:

Nov, 20-24-27 - 83598

the cron process dies after "course setup ok" when generating such user digest.
(note that it's not critical because digest will continue in next cron execution but have to detect WHY such user stops the cron).

Closing this as won't fix.

I've been looking latest digests in moodle.org and cannot see the problem anymore. Perhaps it was something related with lang packages (all users used to be from "pl") or some recent change has alleviated the problem.

Anyway, if it happens again... digest will continue in next cron execution so it's no major anymore.

aaah, I think MD fixed it today - there was a problem with $a\x1221 in some language pack (Bulgarian or some from asia)
