.. _zombie_fail_cli: zombie_fail /////////// :: zombie_fail ----------- Locates the task in the servers list of zombies, and sets to fail. Next time a child command (init,event,meter,label,abort,complete) which matches zombie, communicates with the server, will be set to fail. Depending on the job setup this may force a abort, the abort will also fail. Hence job structure should use 'set -e' in the error trapping functions to prevent infinite recursion. The references to the zombie in the server is automatically deleted after 1 hour args = list of task paths, at least one expected --zombie_fail=/path/to/task /path/to/task2 The client reads in the following environment variables.
