[Jonathan Lange <jml@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jonathan Lange has proposed merging lp:~jml/launchpad/robust-shutdown into lp:launchpad/devel.

Requested reviews:
  Launchpad code reviewers (launchpad-reviewers)


Follow Martin Pool's recommendations for a more robust timeout on ec2 instances.

I observed this message trying to start a remote test run:

 ec2test@...$ echo sudo shutdown -h now | at today + 480 minutes
 warning: commands will be executed using /bin/sh
 job 1 at Sat Jul 24 22:43:00 2010
 Can't open /var/run/atd.pid to signal atd. No atd running?

I wonder if this could be responsible for some people seeing their
instances never shut down?  It doesn't happen every time.  I wonder
too if this could be caused by poking commands into the machine right
after it's started up and therefore before atd is ready to signal
commands?  Perhaps we should just run 'sudo -b shutdown -h +480'?
