.. rubric:: Output of :code:`--help=zombie_fail`
The following help text is generated by :code:`ecflow_client --help=zombie_fail`
::
zombie_fail
-----------
Locates the task in the servers list of zombies, and sets to fail.
Next time a child command (init,event,meter,label,abort,complete) which matches zombie, communicates with the server, will be set to fail.
Depending on the job setup this may force a abort, the abort will also fail.
Hence job structure should use 'set -e' in the error trapping functions to prevent
infinite recursion.
The references to the zombie in the server is automatically deleted after 1 hour
args = list of task paths, at least one expected
--zombie_fail=/path/to/task /path/to/task2
The client considers, for both user and child commands, the following environment variables:
ECF_HOST <string> [mandatory*]
The main server hostname; default value is 'localhost'
ECF_PORT <int> [mandatory*]
The main server port; default value is '3141'
ECF_SSL <any> [optional*]
Enable secure communication between client and server.
ECF_HOSTFILE <string> [optional]
File that lists alternate hosts to try, if connection to main host fails
ECF_HOSTFILE_POLICY <string> [optional]
The policy ('task' or 'all') to define which commands consider using alternate hosts.
The options marked with (*) must be specified in order for the client to communicate
with the server, either by setting the environment variables or by specifying the
command line options.
