[HTCondor-users] Trapping condor_hold in Python scripts on Windows

[Ben Cotton <ben.cotton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Has anyone had any luck trapping when a Python script is placed on
hold on Windows? My proof-of-concept script below works on Linux, but
not on Windows, despite the fact that the starterlog suggests that it
should:

08/07/15 14:53:10 (pid:7952) Got SIGTERM. Performing graceful shutdown.

import os
import signal
import sys
import time

def cleanShutdown(signal, frame):
    '''A method to handle shutdowns. This is necessary to prevent the agent from
    hanging on a HTCondor shutdown, since the shutdown script sends SIGQUIT
    instead of SIGTERM.'''

    print 'Received signal %i, shutting down server' % signal
    sys.exit(0)

# Capture SIGINT and SIGQUIT
signal.signal(signal.SIGINT,cleanShutdown)
signal.signal(signal.SIGTERM,cleanShutdown)
if os.name != 'nt':
    signal.signal(signal.SIGQUIT,cleanShutdown)

time.sleep(900)
