[Piuparts-devel] problems with stopping slaves?

[Andreas Beckmann]

Hi Holger,

if you are frequently restarting the slaves, have you encountered any
problems stopping the slaves?

Problems as in
* Ctrl-C always producing a fail log (will be caught by detect_some_issues)
* Ctrl-C Ctrl-C not working as expected (non-root can't send signal to
process running as other-user)
* some python exceptions upon Ctrl-C

I haven't tried  Ctrl-C Ctrl-C Ctrl-C lately ...

#1 can be fixed easily
#2 can be fixed by inserting a "sudo kill -INT $pid"

this was also a reason for the timeout command being better suited than
piuparts-slave using alarm

These issues could be related to the kernel version ...
