Jobman automates the process of running and monitoring jobs on the command line. Jobman supports * running commands in the background immune to hangups * logging command output * retrying commands * aborting commands after timeout * delaying command execution for a specified time or event * sending notifications on command success or failure
Documentation
Visit the :book: jobman documentation site :book: for complete information on using jobman.
Requirements
Jobman runs on UNIX-like operating systems including Linux and MacOS. Windows is not supported.
Jobman requires Python3.9+.
Installation
Install or upgrade from PyPI with
$ pip install -U jobman
Example
The example below uses jobman to run a Python script train.py in the background and immune to hangups (e.g., a SIGHUP from an SSH timeout).
Jobman will ensure 60 seconds have passed and that the file data.csv exists before starting the program. If those conditions haven't been met by 5:00PM on March 5, 2032, jobman will abort the job.
Jobman will retry the program up to five times until there's one successful run, defined as an exit code of 0 or 42, waiting ten seconds between retries.
If the job succeeds, jobman will send a notification email. If the job fails, jobman will send an SMS message.
bash
$ jobman \
--wait-duration 60s --wait-for-file data.csv \
--abort-time "2032-03-05T17:00:00" \
--retry-attempts 5 --retry-delay 10s -c 0 -c 42 \
--notify-on-job-success my-email --notify-on-job-failure my-cell \
train.py
12e4b604
After submitting the train.py job above, use jobman show to display details on job progress:
bash
jobman show 12e4b604
To view a running log of the consolidated stdout and stderr streams of the latest run of the job, use jobman logs:
bash
jobman logs 12e4b604 --follow
Alternatives
Jobman aims to be reliable and fully-featured. It operates without requiring a system service/daemon for orchestration.
Alternative tools for similar use cases include: * cron: for scheduling repeated executions of a job * Airflow, Prefect, and Dagster: for managing dependencies between multiple jobs * supervisord: for daemon-based job management
Developing
Jobman uses pyenv for Python version management and poetry for builds. Before working on Jobman, ensure you have pyenv and poetry installed.
The Makefile defines targets for common operations during development, including the following:
* make setup: set up and install the package
* make fmt: run the autoformatters
* make test: run the type tests and unit test suite
* make build: build the jobman wheel
To release a new version of the package, use the bumpver.sh script. For example, to update to version 1.2.3, run ./bumpver.sh 1.2.3. Before committing, be sure to update the CHANGELOG.md with user-facing changes described in the recent commit log printed out by bumpver.sh.
