Kill Jobs

Description

Kill jobs which are currently running on the batch system.

In case of an error when killing, the function tries - after a short sleep - to kill the remaining batch jobs again. If this fails three times for some jobs, the function gives up. Jobs that could be successfully killed are reset in the Registry.

Usage

killJobs(ids = NULL, reg = getDefaultRegistry())

Arguments

ids	[data.frame or integer] A data.frame (or data.table) with a column named “job.id”. Alternatively, you may also pass a vector of integerish job ids. If not set, defaults to the return value of findOnSystem. Invalid ids are ignored.
reg	[Registry] Registry. If not explicitly passed, uses the default registry (see setDefaultRegistry).

Value

[data.table] with columns “job.id”, the corresponding “batch.id” and the logical flag “killed” indicating success.
