slave not clearing its task after shutdown

I think this might be a bug rather than me spacing out:

  • Task is happily running on a machine.
  • A human needs that machine, so I shutdown the slave through the slave list right click menu. I’m not shutting down the task first, and I answer ‘no’ to ‘do you want to kill the slave process if needed’.
  • Slave on that machine shuts down fine, job requeues, everyone is happy.
  • The monitor shows that machine as offline, like it should, but it still has the old task in the current task column.
  • Also affects the results coming from the slave status reported by deadlinecommand

I’m using beta12, in this case the workstation is running windows 7, the repository is on a linux server. The job was a Maxwell job, I haven’t tested it with other plugins.

I should note that it doesn’t seem to effect functionality for me, I only noticed it when gathering slave statistics through deadlinecommand.

Thanks for reporting this! It’s just a display issue, so it won’t affect how Deadline functions. We’ve tracked down the bug and it will be fixed in beta 13.

Cheers,
