Re: [HTCondor-users] Windows Claim Deactivation

[Jaime Frey <jfrey@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It looks like despite what the manual claims, the kill_sig job attribute is used on both unix and Windows for all job universes, despite it being nonsensical on Windows. What version are you upgrading from?

Hello!

With HTCondor v24.0.6, I am seeing unexpected behavior when attempting to deactivate a claim for a statically-provisioned, Windows Server 2019 execution point with ENABLE_STARTD_DAEMON_AD set to False. I have many platform-agnostic executables that specify kill_sig=SIGINT as part of their submission. When migrating to newer versions, removal of claims for Windows execution points stopped working despite the docs stating Windows does not consider kill_sig. Here is some example logging I see:

==> StarterLog.slot1 <==

(pid:1084) Got SIGTERM. Performing graceful shutdown.

(pid:1084) ShutdownGraceful all jobs.

(pid:1084) Send_Signal: ERROR Attempt to send signal 2 to pid 6064, but pid 6064 has no command socket # This is the job's PID

(pid:1084) Send (softkill) signal failed, retrying...

=> StartLog <==

slot1: State change: received VACATE_CLAIM command

slot1: Changing activity: Busy -> Retiring

slot1: State change: claim retirement ended/expired

slotl: Changing state and activity: Claimed/Retiring -> Preempting/Vacating

==> StarterLog.slot1 <==

(pid:1084) Send_Signal: ERROR Attempt to send signal 2 to pid 6064, but pid 6064 has no command socket

(pid:1084) Send (softkill) signal failed twice, hardkill will fire after timeout 

I believe this could be related to PR #665, but I am not sure if it is a misconfiguration. Any help would be greatly appreciated! 

Let me know if any other logging would be helpful with diagnosing this. 

Thanks,

T. Rock
