Question How to know the entire list of programmed process backups?

Erwan

Regular Pleskian
Hi,

Is it possible to know with a command line the list of the process backup (customer)?
We have two "pigz" in process but we don"t know which customer is concerned.

Thanks.
 
I have:

#ps aux | grep pigz
root 19980 0.1 0.0 614080 7472 ? SNl Jun03 11:20 /usr/bin/pigz
root 22554 0.1 0.0 614080 7496 ? SNl 05:11 1:03 /usr/bin/pigz
root 26649 0.0 0.0 105468 2044 pts/0 S+ 14:42 0:00 grep pigz

But i don't know from where is 19980.
 
My suggestion here is to look into
# cd /usr/local/psa/PMM/logs
and find the directories with the latest backups like
backup-YYYY-MM-DD-HH-...
Decend into these directories and look into the backup.log files, e.g.
# less backup.log
or
# tail backup.log
For running backups, backup.log is continuously appended by new log entries. If the backup.log is still updated, the backup process is running. If it ends with "INFO: pmm-ras finished. Exit code: 0" and does not add new lines, it is not an actively running backup.
 
Thanks a lot Peter.

The latest directory: backup-2018-06-07-00-03-02-217/

And the last line (and modification) in backup.log:
[2018-06-07 05:11:08.093|27406] INFO: pmm-ras finished. Exit code: 0

But the backup is still running in the manager (?).
And i've a "pigz" process....

It seems that there is the 2018-06-03 backup still here but on the console it's finished..

I think it should be safe to kill all PMM jobs and see what happens afterwards.
If the backup is still shown as "running" in Plesk after PMM jobs have been killed and no PMM jobs remain visible in "ps aux | grep PMM" command output, remove the entries from the "longtasks" table in the psa database. This should reset all. It will not delete any data, but it will interrupt running backups, so that these backups are corrupt or incomplete and need to be re-done.

P.s.: Check if the pigz jobs stop when the PMM jobs are stopped. If not, kill the pigz jobs, too. Before restarting anything, make sure that you have enough space in your temporary directory/partition and on your FTP backup space.
