Description Marian Ganisin 2013-08-08 11:37:55 UTC
Description of problem:
Typically during first task (which is most often /distribution/install) some issue may occur that causes that the process is restarted (it can be hardware issue, incorrect boot order setup after installation or whatever). Such jobs can be identified for example by reporting one event/subtask repeatedly, for example:

/distribution/install
  	  ./start
  	  ./start
  	  ./start
  	  ./start
  	  ./start
  	  ./start
  	  ./start
  	  ./start
  	  ./start
...

This causes infinite loop and never-ending job. This seems to be easy to detect and job can be aborted in case of loop.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Version - 0.14.1

How reproducible:
unclear conditions

Actual results:
Never-ending job stuck in a loop

Expected results:
Recurring event detected, job aborted
