Description

When I start a worker with

sudo -u _openqa-worker /home/richie/qa/openQA/script/worker --instance 1
--isotovideo ~/qa/os-autoinst/isotovideo --verbose --apikey 1234567890ABCDEF --a
pisecret 1234567890ABCDEF

and run a job which fails or completes (more often with a job which fails), the script will not close unless I send the kill signal.

If I press ^C then the following is printed:
[INFO] quit due to signal INT

If I send kill -TERM <pid> then is printed:
[INFO] quit due to signal TERM

However the script does not close, sending the kill signal closes the script, but there is still a Perl process active which must also be killed otherwise the pool folder remains locked.

If you have observed a similar problem, please comment, in case it is just my installation (which is from the Git HEAD).

Obviously, when you KILL rather than TERM you will have to deal with leftovers.

The worker code itself tries to handle this: https://github.com/os-autoinst/openQA/blob/master/lib/OpenQA/Worker/Jobs.pm#L63

How long did you wait before sending KILL?
