- ecflow_client –zombie_get
This will list all the zombies in the server. - ecflow_client –zombie_fail=<task-path>
Ask the zombie to fail. This may result in another zombie because abort child command in the job, will be called. - ecflow_client –zombie_fob=<task-path>
Used to unblock the child, allows the job to proceed.
However this will only work for zombies where the password does not match. - ecflow_client –zombie_adopt=<task-path>
Copies the password stored on the zombie onto the task.
Allows the job to proceed, and update the state in the server( i.e. due to init,complete,abort).
It is up to the user, to ensure that the zombie has been dealt with before doing this. - ecflow_client –zombie_remove=<task-path>
Remove the zombie representation in the server.
Typically this is done, when we are sure we have handled the zombie.
The zombie will re-appear next time it communicates with server, if this is not the case. - ecflow_client –zombie_block =<task-path>
Ask the jobs to block at the child command in the job.
Prevents the job from proceeding. (This is the default behaviour for the init, complete and abort child commands) - ecflow_client --zombie_kill=<task-path>
Ask the server to the zombie process
Sometimes we may want the job to proceed but "ecflow_client –zombie_adopt=<task-path>" does not work. i.e. we have the case where zombies password matches, but the process id (ECF_RID) are different.
