ubic/log/watchdog.log show this apparently from the cronjob (but it does not get logged every minute && manually running the cronjob does not log that or get it started :/)

[Thu Oct  4 15:26:37 2018]	ubic.watchdog status is 'not running', restarting
[Thu Oct  4 15:26:37 2018]	ubic.ping status is 'not running', restarting

the cron job is:

* * * * * PATH=/arbitrary/installation/path/of/perl/and/ubic/scripts/:$PATH ubic-watchdog ubic.watchdog >>$HOME/ubic/log/watchdog.log 2>>$HOME/ubic/log/watchdog.err.log

changing the shebang (so that there is no path confusion or @INC issues) line does not help
