2025.11.22 – Bugfix: Catching errors when starting a job.

  • Now catch any error that occurs starting a job, and set its status to ‘startup error’. This prevents the JobServer getting into a loop repeatedly trying to submit the job.

2025.11.12 – Added SEAMM_JOBSERVER and SEAMM_JOB_ID environment variables

This PR adds support for passing job-specific metadata to spawned processes through environment variables. Jobs can now access their unique job ID and the name of the JobServer that spawned them.

  • Added SEAMM_JOB_ID and SEAMM_JOBSERVER environment variables for spawned job processes

  • Added –name command-line argument to specify JobServer name (defaults to hostname)

  • Cleaned up docstring formatting

2024.4.12 – Fixed issue with status of finished jobs

  • Fixed a problem if a job returned a status of None, which was reported as an error.

2024.4.11 – Correcting description of this package

2024.4.5 – Adding support for debugging

  • Use the value of the environment variable SEAMM_LOG_LEVEL to set the log level for jobs. DEBUG, INFO, WARNING are three useful levels.

2024.1.17 – Changes to support running in Docker containers.

2023.12.12 – Improved the output in the GUI.

  • Improved the output to the GUI

  • Fixed a bug in the file path for the status file.

2023.3.23 – Substantial improvements to JobServer

  • Switched to independent process for Jobs, which means they are fully independent of the JobServer and continue to run if the JobServer stops

  • Discover existing running jobs on startup and monitor them.

  • Added status information for the machine the JobServer is on as well as Jobs

  • Provide a GUI if run from the commandline, showing the log and status.

0.9.1 (2020-05-29)#
