Summary: Graceful stop of xargs Group: findutils Submitter: None Submitted: Tue 03 Oct 2023 04:36:19 PM UTC Category: xargs Severity: 3 - Normal Item Group: None Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Originator Name: Originator Email: Open/Closed: Open Release: None Discussion Lock: Any Fixed Release: None _______________________________________________________ Follow-up Comments: ------------------------------------------------------- Date: Tue 03 Oct 2023 04:36:19 PM UTC By: Anonymous Hello. At this time there is no way to gracefully stop xargs. If I kill main process all current running jobs will be killed too. The most graceful way I know is to decrease maxprocs to 1, wait for this one new process to start and then kill xargs. Am I missing something? If no - I suggest to allow to decrease maxprocs to 0 (or use any other signal) to tell xargs it needs to stop after batch will be done. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?64741> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
