executable of pywikibot on labs

Looking at the pywikibot files on toollabs there are number of .py script files in "/shared/pywikipedia/core/scripts" that are not executable. Is this purposeful? If so, can you tell me where one is to find the usable versions? Billinghurst (talk) 11:44, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi Billinghurst, they don't need to be -- you can run them using 'python /shared/pywikipedia/core/scripts/login.py' (assuming you've set your PYTHONPATH correctly). valhallasw (talk) 12:00, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

K. thx. Whym is helping this dinosaur get reacquainted with forgotten linux, and the peculiarities of python. Billinghurst (talk) 12:01, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

re:tools.cobain processes on tools-bastion-01

Sorry. I will not continue running this script. But please don't block the tool tools.cobain. I try to debug my script. Coet (talk) 16:51, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

No problem, mistakes happen. Please see Help:Tool_Labs/Grid for information on how to submit jobs to the grid. Testing on tools-bastion-01 for short periods of time is generally OK, but please use the grid for longer tasks. Thanks! valhallasw (Merlijn van Deen) (talk) 17:01, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

How can I kill a process?

Now I run this script by my account, coet, not by cobain tool.

I am testing it, and I don't use the grid. I kill it by [ctrl]+[Z] because [ctrl]+[C] doesn't work. I thought it was enough to kill them, but maybe the processes still runnning. How can I ensure I kill them? Coet (talk) 18:09, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

Ctrl-z does not kill a job, it just puts it in the background (so it's still running, you just don't notice it is!). To see all your running processes, use ps -lu coet, or start top and type u coet. This will show you all your jobs with their process ID (PID). To kill them, run kill -9 <pid>. For example, ps -lu coet now returns

root@tools-bastion-01:/home/valhallasw/pstricks# ps -lu coet
F S   UID   PID  PPID  C PRI  NI ADDR SZ WCHAN  TTY          TIME CMD
(... some commands ...)
0 T  3999 25296 14594  0  80   0 -  1110 signal pts/0    00:00:00 geninfinite.sh
(...)

which you can then kill with kill -9 25295. valhallasw (Merlijn van Deen) (talk) 18:35, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

Ok, I was reading about my question and I find the same, but not at all, answer you gave me.

Now I know, I can not stop processes, and i I do it, I must kill them. Sorry, because I always used ctrl-c, and I never have this problem, but on wmflabs it desn't work.

I will be careful with this new way.

Thank you for all. Coet (talk) 20:15, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
