Description

Deprecated on 2025-08-26 in crew version 1.2.1.9006. Please use crew_monitor_local() instead.

Usage

crew_clean(
  dispatchers = TRUE,
  workers = TRUE,
  user = ps::ps_username(),
  seconds_interval = 0.25,
  seconds_timeout = 60,
  verbose = TRUE
)

Arguments

dispatchers	Logical of length 1, whether to terminate dispatcher processes (in older versions of mirai: <= 2.6.1). In mirai > 2.6.1, the dispatcher is a no longer a full process and will not be terminated by this function.

user	Character of length 1. Terminate processes associated with this user name.
seconds_interval	Seconds to wait between polling intervals waiting for a process to exit.
seconds_timeout	Seconds to wait for a process to exit.
verbose	Logical of length 1, whether to print an informative message every time a process is terminated.

Value

NULL (invisibly). If verbose is TRUE, it does print out a message for every terminated process.
