Aborting Jobs

Jobs that are running on a Compute Server can be aborted by using the abort command. For example:

> grbcluster --server=server1 --password=admin abort e7022667

The following steps illustrate how you would start and subsequently abort a job. First, use the Gurobi command-line tool (gurobi_cl) to start a long-running optimization job on your Compute Server:

> gurobi_cl --server=server1 --password=pass glass4.mps

Once the job starts, you can use the grbcluster jobs command to retrieve the associated JOBID (or you can read it off from the output of gurobi_cl):

> grbcluster --server=server1 --password=pass jobs
JOBID    ADDRESS STATUS  #Q  STIME               PRIO
8f9b15d9 server1 RUNNING     2017-10-10 17:30:33 0

The full or short JOBID can be used to abort the job as follows

> grbcluster --server=server1 --password=admin abort 8f9b15d9
If no JOBID is specified, the most recently started job will be aborted.

After the abort command is issued, the status of the job can be retrieved using the recent command:

> grbcluster --server=server1 --password=pass recent
JOBID    ADDRESS  STATUS  STIME               USER  OPT
8f9b15d9 server1  ABORTED 2017-10-10 17:41:33 user1 OPTIMAL
As you can see, the status of the job has changed to ABORTED.
