Description Bill Peck 2010-07-20 17:55:24 UTC

Description of problem:

 We need a general task based operation to do long running operations.

 Examples of long running tasks are:

- Power cycling a machine
- Cancelling a job

Anything that may take a long time which needs to be issued from the webUI or the command line.

Comment 1 Kevin Baker 2010-07-20 18:11:09 UTC

The UI's (web, cmdline etc) also need to be able to query to see if another task is in ahead of it. For example if someone has power cycled a machine then the UI should reflect it's current status (power cycle in progress). The UI should not permit the user to do stupid things.

Comment 2 Raymond Mancy 2010-08-06 01:15:12 UTC

Bill, how much of a problem is this causing at the moment?

Comment 3 Bill Peck 2010-08-06 15:06:34 UTC

Its not critical but it would be nice to have.  I think its something that will take a while and need to be reviewed by everyone as well.

Comment 4 Dan Callaghan 2012-10-04 05:07:47 UTC

We have the per-system command queue for this now.
