I realized I hadn’t seen this blog on my dash in a while, and when I checked the date on the most recent post I noticed that it was posted two months ago. When I actually attempted to log into the VPS, it became apparent that the script that runs it was either always or sometimes failing to terminate, so every time the scheduled job ran it created a new instance of the script, ultimately consuming all the memory on the server. I’m not sure how all the other bots on the server were even managing to run.

I knew there was a bug in the script that adversely affected performance, but I hadn’t bothered to fix it. I’d like the bot to keep running, so at some point I’ll take another look and take the time to implement it properly.
