How to manually grab job reports using job ID

Avoiding all Deadline API calls due to limitations, currently working directly with the deadline mongo DB and able to almost get all the information I need, just missing this one last piece of the puzzle.

From what I understand the logs are held here: \reports\jobs\fe\0\65eae12786a94190d0227fe0

How can I use the id to get to the bz2 and how do I process them? Thanks in advance!

Figured it out!

It’s’ just a deconstruction and reconstruction with the job id and report id

No huge novel for context thankfully, I love ya’ll’s API. Mainly I’ve found deadlinecommand + executescript to be far superior and convenient than the REST API (I’m 95% certain there’s lots of limitations on the REST API) but the Scripting API still has caused issues integrating it into our pipeline, as the needs the .exe to be executing the code. Also I found that querying the Mongo DB is infinitely faster and we can just parse the dicts into Pydantic models for ease-of-use!

The scripting API is still king when it comes to actually interacting with the DB though, but for providing a more curated view of the farm data for artists, the MongoDB route is most practical.

Gotcha, that makes sense. I must warn you that hitting the database isn’t supported, and we don’t announce schema changes or support issues that come from those changes.

So long as you’ve got robust error handling in your calls you should be safe.

UNDP is committed to achieving workforce diversity in terms of gender, nationality and culture. Individuals from minority groups, indigenous groups and persons with disabilities are equally encouraged to apply. All applications will be treated with the strictest confidence. UNDP does not tolerate sexual exploitation and abuse, any kind of harassment, including sexual harassment, and discrimination. All selected candidates will, therefore, undergo rigorous reference and background checks.

UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security.

Afghanistan is one of the world’s most complex emergencies, and one of the world’s largest humanitarian crises. Afghan people are grappling with the impact of insecurity, poverty, economic decline, and natural disasters. Since the takeover by Taliban in August 2021, Afghanistan has witnessed a progressive erasure of women’s rights and freedoms, through over 70 formal and informal edicts, messages and practices. It is essential that Afghan women and girls continue to shape the development of their country, and that their gains are protected. UN Women remains fully committed to supporting Afghan women and girls and to putting them at the center of the global response to the crisis in Afghanistan. In the evolving context UN Women continues to reconfigure and adapt its programming to be responsive to ensure the full spectrum of rights of Afghan women and girls are met.

UN Women’s programming approach in Afghanistan is informed by analysis of the political, economic and humanitarian situation, risks to, and capacities of, partner organizations, and needs of Afghan women and girls. UN Women Afghanistan currently has five key programme priorities: (1) Gender in Humanitarian Action, (2) Ending Violence Against Women, (3) Women’s Economic Empowerment, (4) Contributing to Rebuilding Women Civil Society Organizations, and (5) Women, Peace and Security. Given the operational context in country, UN Women has also strengthened its 5 sub offices to ensure a more localized approach to its programming.

The 2024 Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan (HNRP) identified 23.7 million people in need – 53% of the entire population- and it requires USD 3.06 billion in funding. In addition, the 2023-25 UN Strategic Framework for Afghanistan (UNSFA) stresses the acute basic human needs that vulnerable populations across the country continue to face - in terms of access to services, livelihoods and social cohesion/human rights. The (immediate) humanitarian challenges, as well as the (longer-term) basic human needs situation, compound each other, making the crisis in Afghanistan particularly complex.  

Engaging women’s organization has a catalytic impact on promoting Humanitarian-Peace-Development nexus. Women-led/focused CSOs play a pivotal role in ensuring meaningful delivery of services to women and girls in any context but the role of these organizations is even more critical in gender-segregated societies like Afghanistan. Women CSOs have a catalytic effect in reaching people in need as they are deeply embedded in the communities where they work. The presence of women-led and women-focused CSOs is paramount to navigating the constrained operational environment and facilitating gender-sensitive programming. Further, addressing the needs of women is at the forefront of women focused CSOs’ programming, rather than just one component of their operations.

In Afghanistan, to ensure a gendered response to a worsening humanitarian situation, the UN Women Afghanistan Country Office is working actively to provide strategic leadership and technical support to ensure the humanitarian response fully responds to the specific needs and priorities of women in girls through elevating support the humanitarian response architecture as well develop targeted programming. Within the worsening humanitarian context in Afghanistan and multiple restrictions on women’s rights and movement, additional emphasis is being placed on the gendered impacts of the crisis, such as gender targeted security incidents further impacting space for women humanitarian workers or the impact on women’s access to humanitarian services, amongst others. 

Under the Gender in Humanitarian Action (GiHA) Unit, UN Women is partnering with the Special Trust Fund for Afghanistan (STFA) and with the Women, Peace and Humanitarian Fund to support women organizations to deliver gender-responsive, results driven programs linking the humanitarian response to basic human needs programming and to influence the aid coordination structure to increase the accountability of the humanitarian response and its connection with basic human needs programing.

Difference between process group id and job id in UNIX

Please tell me the difference between a process group ID and a jobid. Is jobid a builtin of a shell program or is it related to the kernel? What are the uses of each of them? When a process is run in background, is only jobid set or is the pgid set as well? What are the uses of the setpgid() function?

When a process is run in background, is the kernel also involved or does the shell take care of which is background or foreground?

Good questions. The job id is mostly just a shell construct. There is support in the kernel in the form of the signals that are involved in job control, and the way in which the kernel knows exactly which processes to send the job control signals to.

Strictly speaking, the answer to your first question is that the job id is purely a shell creation. It exists because a pipeline (or, rarely, another shell grouped construct) may consist of multiple processes that should be controlled as a unit.

To answer your last question, the shell starts all processes by first doing a fork(2) and then doing an execve(2) . The only difference with & is that the shell does not do a wait(2) (or a related variant) and so the program can continue "in the background". There is actually little distinction in Unix between foreground and background.

The process group is an association defined by shells so that the kernel knows about a single "foreground" process that handles a set of various "background" processes. This is mainly important so that the background processes will generate a signal should they decide to suddenly read from a terminal. (Such terminal probably being connected to standard input.) This will cause the "job" to generate a signal and the shell will prompt the user to do something.

Try (sleep 5; read x)& and after 6 seconds type a return or something so that the shell wakes up. That's when you see something like...

[1]+ Stopped ( sleep 5; read x )

...and you then type fg to pull it into the foreground.

Originally, Unix had pipelines, and it had & , but there was no way to move a command or pipeline between foreground and background and no way to help a background process that suddenly decided to read standard input.

Job control and the kernel support for it were added by Bill Joy and others in early versions of BSD and csh(1). These were picked up line-for-line by commercial Unix and in cloned for the work-alike Linux kernel.

Regarding the questions about process groups and ps(1) ... In order to support job control in shells, the kernel process state includes a process group ID and a session ID. A process group and a job are the same thing, but a job number is just a handle the shell makes up. A process is a session leader if the session ID is the same as the pid, and a process is a process group leader if the pgid is the same as the pid. I believe something a bit more subtle is happening with the + that ps(1) prints. Each terminal knows what its foreground process group is, so I believe a process gets a + if pid == pgid && (pgid is the foreground pg for its controlling terminal).

In summary, the kernel keeps several items of state: pid, pgid, sid, and a process may have a controlling terminal and a terminal may have a foreground pgid. These credentials are mostly intended to support job control but are also used to revoke access to a terminal when a user logs out.

• In ur example for process group, what is the use of process group. PLease explani in detail how process group is involved. –  avd Commented Oct 2, 2009 at 12:01
• One more thing, u have written that foreground process controls background processes, can u give me an example of this? –  avd Commented Oct 2, 2009 at 12:03
• Sorry one more doubt, u wrote that job id is built in of shell, so foreground / background is understanding of shell but when we do "ps" then it display in stats as "R" or "R+" as foreground nad background process but ps is executed by kernel so how does kernel know that job is back/foreground. –  avd Commented Oct 2, 2009 at 12:10
