Pause Command #49

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Currently you can use 'bpipe stop' to stop a running pipeline, which interrupts 
all jobs ie. kills them, and cleans up their outputs. 

Sometimes I want to "nicely" stop a pipeline without abandoning the tasks in 
process.  So it should let all running commands continue to completion, but not 
launch anything new, and when the last command finishes, exit.

This would allow me to adjust pipelines, interleave a different job I forgot on 
the same computer, etc. without losing lots of work every time I stop a Bpipe 
job.
