Cancel a run

A cancel stops the container of a run. The container has 10 seconds to stop by itself.

Terminal

ferry jobs cancel job-d2ef824c6d6c446086e9

SIGTERM. Ferry asks the container to stop.

1 / 4

The 10 seconds are the grace period. SIGTERM and SIGKILL are signals: messages that the system sends to a program.

You cannot cancel a run that is complete. The command gives an error.

Other causes that stop a run

Cause	Status of the run
You suspend or delete the service.	`canceled`, in the same way
The server stops.	`failed`: "interrupted by server shutdown"
The server crashes.	`failed`: "interrupted by server restart". Ferry writes it at the next start.

A run that hangs blocks the schedule of its cron job. Cancel it. See How scheduled runs work.

List and follow runs

Ferry keeps each run with its status, its trigger, its exit code and its log.

Disks, scaling & suspend

Run more instances of a service, keep files on a disk, and stop, resume or restart a service.
