Cannot pause and live a walk

edev · Post by **edev** » Tue Apr 24, 2007 9:45 am

Hi there,

I've been running a walk for over two weeks now, it seems to be almost complete but it hangs on the last website. I tried to pause and live many times, it's been 24 hours since I've tried to execute the dowalk/hold.ext (and via the web interface) but I still cannot pause it.

I don't want to stop it since I'm afraid I'll lose all the data. Is there any other way to stop the walk, and at the same time still keep and reindex the data later?

Thanks...

If several pause-and-live's in a row (slightly less than 1 minnute apart) don't get it you may have to kill the child walker (not the main dispatcher) that's stuck on a site. Once that child is gone the dispatcher will be able to continue the pause-and-live process normally

How do I kill the child walker?

I checked the walk status and it seems like it's finished the walk! Thanks!

To kill a child walker look in the walk status for the PID of a started child. Then look for that PID in your OS's process list (*nix: ps, windows: task manager) then kill the process or end the task.
