exit code

3526 exited with: 0

The bot will run uptime command on bash and will reply to you with output. If the output is large (see in config.json and slack message length restrictions) then the bot will send you the log as a file.

Alerting and long tasks

Run long tasks (neural network training, big computation, file copying, scanning, etc.) and get alert from bot about the task completion status and log.

For example on

ping googe.com

bot will reply

Runing on 3677

as this task is infinite, it will never stop itself To get a log at any time for not completed tasks use getlog command

getlog 3677

bot will reply
