Dear colleagues,
on a Resource Broker YAIM will create the following entries in /etc/cron.d:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# cat edg-wl-lbserver
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
26 2,8,14,20 * * * root /sbin/service edg-wl-lbserver proxy
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# cat edg-wl-locallogger
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
26 2,8,14,20 * * * root /sbin/service edg-wl-locallogger proxy
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note how they are run at the same time, which can cause either the LB or
the LL service to get an unusable proxy for 6 hours, due to this bug:

    https://savannah.cern.ch/bugs/index.php?func=detailitem&item_id=7372

The next YAIM will implement a work-around for the bug, by shifting the
time of the LL cron job as follows:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# cat edg-wl-locallogger
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
46 2,8,14,20 * * * root /sbin/service edg-wl-locallogger proxy
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

For now this should be done manually.

This problem caused RB lxn1188.cern.ch to be fairly unusable between 14:26
and 18:17 on Wed. Aug. 11.
