Greetings all;
Please relay to the devs that this utility is dangerous, and needs the
ability to scan the system for stuff that cannot be interrupted, and
exit quietly if it finds one of the un-interruptables running.
The instant example is an arm system, and it was running octoprint on a
job that is projected to take nearly a month to complete. And it jut
crashed at 03:09 this morning wasting a $25 spool of plastic.
I have removed the execute perms from that utility and restarted the
job. But we need the ability for it to scan for stuff that cannot be
interrupted, and finding such a process, exit quietly w/o doing anything
to the system.
Perhaps a wrapper to do that, and have cron execute the wrapper?
Admittedly this is a bit odd. But costly, in both time wasted and
monetarily in material wasted.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
