NAME

6       bkr-job-watch - Watch the progress of a Beaker job
7

SYNOPSIS

9       bkr job-watch [options] <taskspec>...
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Specify  one  or  more  <taskspec>  arguments to be watched. Each state
13       change will be reported to stdout. The command will exit only when  ev‐
14       erything is finished.
15
16       The <taskspec> arguments follow the same format as in other bkr subcom‐
17       mands (for example, J:1234). See Specifying tasks in bkr(1).
18

OPTIONS

20       Common bkr options are described in the Options section of bkr(1).
21

EXIT STATUS

23       Non-zero on error, otherwise zero.
24

BUGS

26       In its current implementation this command polls the Beaker server  pe‐
27       riodically for state changes. To avoid overloading the server, only the
28       given <taskspec> arguments and none of their subcomponents are watched.
29       This  limitation  will be addressed in an upcoming release (most likely
30       by switching to a message bus).
31

EXAMPLES

33       Watch the progress of job 12345 and all recipes within it:
34
35          bkr job-watch J:12345
36
37       Due to the limitation  noted  above,  this  won't  actually  watch  any
38       recipes within the job, although it should.
