# jobthing is a module that allows for background execution of a task, and # getting status of that task. The ultimate goal is to allow ajaxyness # of GUI apps using Func, and also for extremely long running tasks that # we don't want to block on as called by scripts using the FunC API. The # CLI should not use this. # # Copyright 2007, Red Hat, Inc # Michael DeHaan # # This software may be freely redistributed under the terms of the GNU # general public license. # # You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License # along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software # Foundation, Inc., 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA. import os import random # for testing only import time # for testing only import shelve import dbm import sys import fcntl import forkbomb import utils import pprint JOB_ID_RUNNING = 0 JOB_ID_FINISHED = 1 JOB_ID_LOST_IN_SPACE = 2 JOB_ID_PARTIAL = 3 JOB_ID_REMOTE_ERROR = 4 # how long to retain old job records in the job id database RETAIN_INTERVAL = 60 * 60 # where to store the internal job id database CACHE_DIR = "/var/lib/func" def __update_status(jobid, status, results, clear=False): return __access_status(jobid=jobid, status=status, results=results, write=True) def __get_status(jobid): return __access_status(jobid=jobid, write=False) def purge_old_jobs(): return __access_status(purge=True) def __purge_old_jobs(storage): """ Deletes jobs older than RETAIN_INTERVAL seconds.
