Increasing number or "Process terminated because the backend took too long to shutdown" over the last week

[Arun Shanker Prasad]

Hi All,

We have been getting a lot of "Process terminated because the backend took too long to shutdown" errors on our backend instances over the last week, once of our cron which runs daily has failed to run every single day. I tried manually kicking the run, but that also results in the same error, and sometimes even after running for like 3 minutes. Does anyone else have the same issue? Can someone please help me with this.

Got the following from the logs

2013-02-09 21:56:56.827  500 1616082ms 0kb instance=0 AppEngine-Google; (+http://code.google.com/appengine)

2013-02-09 21:56:56.827 Process terminated because the backend took too long to shutdown.

Thanks,

Arun.

I came across this problem today. I am running a B2 backend instance which does some work. It was getting pulled down randomly. sometime between 6-20 mins of run. A call to garbace collection after n operations worked for me. Last run went through without a glitch. I am using python in GAE. you could give this a try. 

Best,

Hari

HI Harisankar,

We had tried garbage collection but that did not work :( We currently check if the script ran and rerun it in case of failure. Although the rate of failure has gone down, it does still happen!

Thanks,

Arun Shanker Prasad
