SmarmySeaurchin8 what's the trains-agent version? What command did you use to start it (also did you use a custom worker ID)?

I've ran this 8 times:
trains-agent --config-file /opt/trains/trains.conf daemon --detached --cpu-only --queue important_cpu_queue cpu_queueThe version is 0.16.2rc0 (a version Mushik gave me that supports local conda env)

And what's the TRAINS_WORKER_ID you're using? It seems this issue is caused by the agent failing to locate a suitable .trainsagent* file in the temp folder (these files store the currently running agent PIDs)

Also - what is the temp folder path in your case?

Did you run the agents using sudo ?

Nope, I've run them with the command I've written here

How can I tell what's the temp folder path?

And how can I tell which TRAINS_WORKER_ID I'm using?

It's important to say that this happens when I have more than like 4 workers but when I run the
trains-agent daemon --stopWith less than 4 workers it works well

The trains-agent prints out the temp folder as part of the configuration dump to the log, when it starts

Let me check this out

SuccessfulKoala55 I found the temp files, they contain the supposedly worker id, which seems just fine

By the way, what about enabling closing workers from the UI? 🙂

By the way, what about enabling closing workers from the UI?

As always, we'll appreciate a GitHub issue for feature requests 🙂 - I'll write it down

I will open one

I found the temp files

What's the path they're located in?

in /tmp/.trainsagent_5031_f4iwisna.tmp
For example

Does the file contain the agent's PID?

Nope, only its name

Oh

Actually the 5031 is the PID.

in the file's name

Still, what's the file's contents?

SmarmySeaurchin8 when calling with --stop , you need to use the exact same command-line used to start the agent, with the --stop flag added. In your case:
trains-agent --config-file /opt/trains/trains.conf daemon --detached --cpu-only --queue important_cpu_queue cpu_queue --stop

I see, I'll try that

The file content by the way contained only the worker's name

I'll add the fix to the startswith error you've reported to the next version in any case
