Hello.
not subscribed to list.
certbot cron script spawns A LOT of these:
root 12639 0.0 0.1 42240 2592 ? S 00:55 0:00
/usr/sbin/CRON -f
root 12640 0.0 0.0 4336 804 ? Ss 00:55 0:00 /bin/sh
-c perl -e 'sleep int(rand(3600))'; certbot -q renew
root 12641 0.0 0.2 19332 3432 ? S 00:55 0:00 perl -e
sleep int(rand(3600))
root 12649 0.0 0.1 42240 2592 ? S 00:56 0:00
/usr/sbin/CRON -f
root 12650 0.0 0.0 4336 800 ? Ss 00:56 0:00 /bin/sh
-c perl -e 'sleep int(rand(3600))'; certbot -q renew
root 12651 0.0 0.2 19332 3376 ? S 00:56 0:00 perl -e
sleep int(rand(3600))
I believe this is why:
* */12 * * * root perl -e 'sleep int(rand(3600))'; certbot -q renew
I suggest changing this into something like:
1 */12 * * * root perl -e 'sleep int(rand(3600))'; certbot -q renew
