Description Roman Joost 2016-07-08 06:28:53 UTC

[08:51:17] <mulhern> docs say I can extend the time of a reservation
by running extendtesttime.sh from the reserved system.
[08:51:46] <mulhern> But, I don't see the script anywhere on the system.
[08:53:14] <mulhern> Is there another way to extend the reservation.
[08:53:15] <mulhern> ?
[08:53:47] <jpichon> mulhern: I think I noticed the same thing, the
script didn't seem to be there after I reprovisioned the machine
[08:54:14] <jpichon> mulhern: You can extend by using the bkr CLI on
tool instead
[08:54:33] <mulhern> ok, thanks. I'll give it a shot.
[08:55:04] <jpichon> mulhern: The command you're looking for is
"watchdog-extend" (naming wasn't obvious to me at first!)
[09:02:44] <mulhern> It worked! Thanks.
[09:03:34] <jpichon> Great!
[09:21:29] <jburke> Just an FYI if you use the
/distribution/reservesys task you will have the extendtesttime.sh
script.
[09:21:53] <jburke> If you use the reservesys element you have to use
the bkr cli to extend the reservation
