Examples

  • Run sleep 5 in the background

    $ job sleep 5
  • Run ls when the last job finishes and it passed (exit code 0)

    $ job -B. ls
  • Run ls when last job finishes (pass / fail)

    $ job -b. ls

    $ job -W

  • Retry a job

    $ job --retry ls

Query Examples

NOTE . is available as an alias to the most recently executed job (as in the Examples above).

  • View recently executed job log file

    $ job ls
    $ view `job`   # Opens the output from ls using "view"
  • View two most recently executed

    $ job echo 1
    $ job echo 2
    $ view `job -n0 -n1`
  • Query by job name

    $ job echo foo
    $ job echo bar
    $ view `job -g foo`
  • Show job info by name

    $ job ls
    $ job -s ls

Configuration

The default configuration file location is ~/.config/jobrc, but can be
overridden using the --rc-file option.

Sample rcfile:

[mail]
program = mail
# For notifications over chat applications (like Google Chat), use chatmail as
# your mail program instead. "chatmail" must be specified rather than a differently
# named link to the script, else some options provided to job (such as --rc-file)
# will not be passed through to it.
# program = chatmail
domain = example.com
[ui]
watch reminder = full|summary  # default=summary
[chatmail]
at all = all|none|no id # default=none
reuse threads = true|false # default true
[chatmail.google-chat-userhooks]
user1 = https://chat.googleapis.com/v1/spaces/...
[chatmail.google-chat-userids]
# Retrieve this using your browser inspector on an existing mention of this user.
# It should show up as "user/some_long_integer" somewhere in the span's metadata.
user1 = <long integer>

System Notifications (Systemd user service example)

If you want to enable notifications when jobs finish, one way to do this is to use the --notifier argument.

~/.config/systemd/user/job-notify.service:

[Unit]
Description=Jobrunner Notifier

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=env job --notifier jsonNotify.py
RestartSec=30
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

~/.local/bin/jsonNotify.py:

Hacking

Primary workflow

It's highly recommend to work inside a virtualenv using pipenv.

Create new virtualenv and install an editable version of jobrunner:

pipenv --three install --dev
pipenv run pip install -e .

Autoformat the code and check linters:

pipenv run ./format.sh

Run tests:

pipenv run pytest

Run CI checks locally

This allows you to run something similar to the azure pipelines locally using docker.
It will use PIP_INDEX_URL and / or ~/.config/pip/pip.conf to configure a pypi mirror.
This will also update Pipfile*.lock.
