waitForJobs

Wait for termination of jobs on the batch system.

Description

Waits for termination of jobs while displaying a progress bar containing summarizing informations of the jobs. The following abbreviations are used in the progress bar: “S” for number of jobs on system, “D” for number of jobs successfully terminated, “E” for number ofjobs terminated with an R exception and “R” for number of jobs currently running on the system.

Usage

waitForJobs(reg, ids, sleep = 10, timeout = 604800,
  stop.on.error = FALSE, progressbar = TRUE)

Arguments

`reg`	[`Registry`] Registry.
`ids`	[`integer`] Vector of job ids. Default is all submitted jobs not yet terminated.
`sleep`	[`numeric(1)`] Seconds to sleep between status updates. Default is `10`.
`timeout`	[`numeric(1)`] After waiting `timeout` seconds, show a message and return `FALSE`. This argument may be required on some systems where, e.g., expired jobs or jobs on hold are problematic to detect. If you don't want a timeout, set this to `Inf`. Default is `604800` (one week).
`stop.on.error`	[`logical(1)`] Immediately return if a job terminates with an error? Default is `FALSE`.
`progressbar`	[`logical(1)`] Set to `FALSE` to disable the progress bar. To disable all progress bars, see `makeProgressBar`.

Value

[logical(1)]. Returns TRUE if all jobs terminated successfully and FALSE if either an error occurred or the timeout is reached.
