The cronjob is broken and runs every minutes for the hours 0 and 12. The
fix is https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/109877

As I said in a previous thread:
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/qa/2014-January/001021.html

The file /data/project/logs/fatal.log can be accessed from any instance,
ie from deployment-bastion.pmtpa.wmflabs

The content is also on logstash:

Probably, not sure how to maintain such a list though.
