Web browser: --- Bug ID: 61102 Summary: Soften qdel behaviour from KILL Product: Wikimedia Labs Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: Unprioritized Component: tools Assignee: m...@uberbox.org Reporter: t...@tim-landscheidt.de CC: benap...@gmail.com, t...@tim-landscheidt.de Classification: Unclassified Mobile Platform: --- At the moment, qdel KILLs the job; this is a bit rude. If jsub would call "qsub -notify", SGE would signal the job before KILLing it. The signal is set by "execd_param"'s NOTIFY_KILL; default is SIGUSR1, I would favour SIGTERM (or a SIGHUP -> SIGINT -> SIGTERM cascade) as I suppose more programs will already have a suitable handler for that. The queue parameter "notify" defines the interval between signals; given that many jobs in Tools use database and other network connections, I would be fairly generous here and propose 60 s (that means in the worst case of a SIGHUP -> SIGINT -> SIGTERM -> SIGKILL cascade 180 s which I find acceptable; for special cases, roots can always log into the exec node and kill at will). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
