How can I automatically kill long-running jobs?
Step-by-step guide
One way of doing this is a combination of the late flag and triggers. This shows an example with/without a script. This example show shows both, hence you need to choose one.
| Code Block |
|---|
suite s
task long_running # if task takes takes longer than 2 hours set late flag
late -c +02:00
task kill_long_running # only triggered if task long_running is late
trigger long_running<flag>late
task kill_long_running_noScript # only triggered if task long_running is late
trigger long_running<flag>late
edit ECF_NO_SCRIPT 1
edit ECF_JOB_CMD "export ECF_PASS=%ECF_PASS%;export ECF_PORT=%ECF_PORT%;export ECF_HOST=%ECF_HOST%;export ECF_NAME=%ECF_NAME%;export ECF_TRYNO=%ECF_TRYNO%; ecflow_client --init=$$; %ECFecflow_CLIENT%client --kill /s/long_running; %ECFecflow_CLIENT%client --complete"
