R: Kill Jobs

killJobs {batchtools} | R Documentation

## Kill Jobs

### Description

Kill jobs which are currently running on the batch system.

In case of an error when killing, the function tries - after a short sleep - to kill the remaining batch jobs again. If this fails three times for some jobs, the function gives up. Jobs that could be successfully killed are reset in the Registry.

### Usage

    killJobs(ids = NULL, reg = getDefaultRegistry())

### Arguments

`ids` | [`data.frame` or `integer`] A `data.frame` (or `data.table`) with a column named “job.id”. Alternatively, you may also pass a vector of integerish job ids. If not set, defaults to the return value of `findOnSystem`. Invalid ids are ignored.
`reg` | [`Registry`] Registry. If not explicitly passed, uses the default registry (see `setDefaultRegistry`).

### Value

[`data.table`] with columns “job.id”, the corresponding “batch.id” and the logical flag “killed” indicating success.
