Hello,

My company recently upgraded to Rundeck as our main scheduling tool. We are having issues with jobs failing and not restarting. Does anyone know how I can accomplish this?

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi David,

Can you attach errors you might be getting either from the job or the service.log?

Hello and thanks for your response. I am asking if there is a feature in Rundeck that allows the jobs to restart after failure. The failures that we are getting are internal, so we are trying to develop a defensive coding strategy against this.

Jobs do have the ability to retry but you will need to define the jobs to check if they are in a retry loop and perhaps also make sure the steps are designed to run again (eg idempotent).

Thanks Alex.

Ok, so a different question but relevant...

I want to be able to set the job node/step to retry after a failure. Is this possible?

Thank you very much for all your help.

At a step level you can define an error handler. For a node failure, you can mark the job to keepgoing which will result in a failed job execution status with the list of failed nodes. In essence, you will want to re run the last execution just for them.
