Howto: Abort/Stop/Kill/Clean a salt runner job

[Robert Fach]

Hi,

in a test I have triggered an orchestration job on my salt master using (several times)

salt-run state.orchestrate start-the-music

After some runs, I aborted the job in the middle and now the whole orchestration fails because it reports that some jobs are still running.

salt-run jobs.active

20150319142402321174:
    ----------
    Arguments:
        - salt.master
        |_
          ----------
          __kwarg__:
              True
          concurrent:

          saltenv:

    Function:

    Returned:

    Target:
        host1* or host2*
    Target-type:
        compound

How can I abort that job, how can I tell salt that there is nothing running anymore...?

Thx for your help

You can easily kill jobs with a given job id using saltutil.kill_job (http://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/topics/jobs/#functions-in-the-saltutil-module)
