kill

The kill command can be used to kill an individual farm job section, or the entire farm job to be killed. If a section name is not provided, the kill command will kill all user processes associated with the farm job. A list of farm jobid's can be provided. The format of the command is as follows:

  fbs kill [-s <section>] [-i] (<jobid>|<sectionid>) ...

The following command kills the job submitted in the previous section:
fbs kill 6505
Farm job < 6505 > killed ...
If a sectionid is given to the command as an argument, then kill will cause an individual section of the specified job to be killed. In this form, any section names provided with the -s flag will be ignored for this job.

By default, kill causes a SIGINT to be sent to all user processes. Users can catch this signal and perform some sort of cleanup. After some grace period (defined in an FBSNG configuration file), SIGKILL is sent to the users processes. Users can cause a job to be killed immediately with the -i flag. In this case, SIGKILL is sent to the users processes immediately.
