# Note: because --queue is treated like a child command(init,complete,event,label,meter,abort,wait), the task path ECF_NAME is read from the environment
# The --queue command will search up the node hierarchy for the queue name. If not found it fails.
step=$(ecflow_client --queue queue_name active) # returns first queued/aborted step from the server and makes it active, Return "NULL" for the last step.
ecflow_client --queue queue_name complete $step # Tell the server that step has completed for the given queue
ecflow_client --queue queue_name aborted $step # Tell the server that step has aborted for the given queue
no_of_aborted=$(ecflow_client --queue queue_name no_of_aborted) # returns as a string the number of aborted steps
ecflow_client --queue queue_name reset # sets the index to the first queued/aborted step. Allows steps to be reprocessed for errors |
Heres how it could be used in a script:

step=""
QNAME="my_queue_name"
while [1 == 1 ] ; do
# this return the first queued/aborted step, then increments to next step, return <NULL> when all steps processed
step=$(ecflow_client --queue=$QNAME active) # of the form string i.e \"003\". this step is now active
if [[ $step == "<NULL>" ]] ; then
break; # no more steps
fi
...
ecflow_client --queue=$QNAME $step complete # tell ecflow this step completed
done
trap() { ecflow_client --queue=$QNAME $step aborted # tell ecflow this step failed } |
This attribute makes it possible to follow a producer(server)/consumer(tasks) pattern. Note additional task consumers can be added for load balancing.
