Could you please tell me what exactly the job "UpdateContacts" in the worker queue does. It seems that there is a part in this process which gets stuck and then the system kills this worker job.

If I start worker manually

php bin/console.php worker

Deprecated: mb_convert_encoding(): Handling HTML entities via mbstring is deprecated; use htmlspecialchars, htmlentities, or mb_encode_numericentity/mb_decode_numericentity instead in /home/user/public_html/fri.dxz.ch/src/Content/Text/HTML.php on line 166

Still same problem - cron gets killed by the system:

/bin/bash: line 1: 375806 Killed php bin/console.php worker > /dev/null 2>&1

The work queue displays one old job

629554 UpdateContacts 2025-04-16 06:20:04 40

If I delete this job in the database (in the table workerqueue) the kill message disapears a few hours - then it comes again and such a job "UpdateContacts" is again the the queue list.

@Hiker I can think of two things that can cause a process to be killed:
it is using too much memory, or the php interpreter had decided it ran for too long. In both cases it could be caused by a malformed reply from the server of the contact being updated. I would check which contact was been updated, if it is always the same contact, what reply its server does for the contact profile...
