Problem with ssh job

[Daniel Wang]

I use a workaround to execute jobs in remote hosts like this:

type=command

command=ssh HostA ‘do-some-thing'

However, when I cancel the job manually, azkaban simply kills the local ssh process. Command in remote host is still running. Is there any way to solve it?

I think if the "do-some-thing" is launched via a screen, which is disconnected before the ssh connection is terminated, the executing command will not stop. I am not very sure of this but it seems logical to me.

Did you ever figure this out?
