This is a a small follow up exercise showing the use of embedded triggers.
These are trigger expression expressions embedded within the scripts using --wait child command.
Whilst the expression is not true not true, the job will hold.
Where possible you should give preference to triggers on the definitions, since these are checked on creation, whereas embedded triggers are checked at run time.

What to do
- Edit the suite definition file.
- Replace the suite
python: python3 test.py ; python3 client.py
text: ecflow_client --suspend=/test ; ecflow_client --replace=/test test.def - Observe the tasks in ecflow_ui .
- Notice the wait icon on task t2.
Introduce an error in the wait expression and ensure that abort , the job should abort
Code Block language bash title Introduce error in wait expression ecflow_client --wait="txx == complete" # there is no node with name txx, this should abort the task
Introduce an impossible expression, what is the effect. ?
Code Block language bash title expression that will never be satisfied ecflow_client --wait="1 == 0" # this expression will never be satisfied.
