finalizer.py - v0.5 - IRA - INAF

INSTALLATION

dependencies:

• python >= 2.6

USAGE

finalizer.py -c config file

File config file should contain the following variables:

• job_files_incoming_folder = folder containing jobsfiles to be executed
• job_files_done_folder = folder where jobfiles are moved after completion
• tar_folder = *folder *
• job_status_folder = folder used to store the jobs state
• lock_file = lock file path
• pid_file = pid file path
• debug_level = debug level (1: critical errors, 2: non-critical errors, 3: debug info)

HOW IT WORKS

• read the configuration file
• check if there are other running instances
• check for files named <schedule_name>.rep inside folder job_files_incoming_folder contaning the following lines:
  • log
  • scan1
  • ...
  • scanN
• for each scanN line, produce inside tar_folder a file named .tar containing the files contained in scanN
• if a file lock_file is present, any operation will be interrupted, the current state is saved and the program exit.
• if the file is correctly produced, the jobfile is moved to job_files_done_folder.
