A zombie is a running job that fails authentication when communicating with the ecflow_server
More rarer causes might be:
The default behaviour for init, complete, abort and wait child commands, is to block the job, and for event, label, meter to fob. (from version 4.0.4, previously all zombie, child commands, blocked)
ecflow_ui provides a tab which lists all the zombies and the actions that can be taken.
The zombies tab is shown, in the info panel when the server node( i.e top most) is selected. |
The actions include:
Terminate:
Fob:
Allow the job to continue. The child command completes and hence no longer blocks the job.
Delete:
Rescue:
Kill:
Of the four action above, only Rescue will allow child command to change the state of the node tree. |
