Subject: Re: [Scons-users] Automatic Retry

We've run into a similar issue, where there is a somewhat buggy version of an absolutely necessary tool.  98% of the time, it works fine. Sometimes, when processing large files and paging to disk, it crashes. In our case, we already override the slurm_spawn function for other purposes, and all of our tasks supply custom environments. So we added a "MAX_RETRIES" environment variable that the spawn function examines to determine how many times to rety a failed task.

Best,

Robert

What platform are you running on?
You could either wrap your tool with a script which retries on failure N times and then call that from scons,
or change the command being run to have some bash scripted loop.
