Hi Alessio,
unfortunately, you can't really ''have bibsched to declare the task'' as
in '''ERROR''' state, because most of the time, it's simply that the task
is taking too much too start (e.g. because it creates enormous data
structure upon start, as it happens with citation dictionaries).
Maybe we can still go in this direction (i.e. to have bibsched decide the
task has failed, rather than the task), by first inspecting the task pid
file and trying to ping the task with a UNIX signal. If no pid file
exists, or if the number in the pid file does not correspond to a live
task, then indeed bibsched can declare the task as '''ERROR''' as you
propose. This can be implemented by exploiting the already existing
{{{get_task_pid}}} function.
