job timeout on a JobScheduler Master kills a shell task after the specified timeout

    Description

      Current Situation
      A shell job is configured with a timeout, e.g.:

      <job stop_on_error="no" timeout="00:00:05">
        <script language="shell">
          <![CDATA[ sleep 20 ]]>
        </script>
        <run_time/>
      </job>
      

      JobScheduler tries to kill the job after it has regularly ended (in this case after 20 seconds instead of 5):

      2015-07-23 11:38:15.654+0200 [info]   SCHEDULER-918  state=starting (at=2015-07-23 11:38:15.635+0200) 
      2015-07-23 11:38:15.654+0200 [info]   SCHEDULER-987  Starting process: '/bin/sh' '-c' '"/tmp/jenkins/sos.Le68rw"' 
      2015-07-23 11:38:35.710+0200 [info]   SCHEDULER-915  Process event 
      2015-07-23 11:38:35.710+0200 [ERROR]  SCHEDULER-272  Terminating task after reaching deadline <job timeout="5"> 
      2015-07-23 11:38:35.710+0200 [WARN]   SCHEDULER-276  Could not kill task 
      

      The timeout works correctly for:

      • shell jobs with monitors
      • api jobs
      • jobs on remote JobSchedulers

      Desired Behaviour
      A shell job without monitor that is configured with a timeout, should be killed after that timeout (per processing step).

      Workaround
      Configure a monitor (pre-/postprocessing Script) for the shell job, e.g.

      <job name="shell_with_javascript_monitor">
          <script  language="shell">
              <![CDATA[
      echo hello world!
      sleep 45
              ]]>
          </script>
      
          <monitor  name="process0" ordering="0">
              <script  language="java:javascript">
                  <![CDATA[
      function spooler_process_before(){
      	return true;
      }
                  ]]>
              </script>
          </monitor>
      
          <run_time />
      </job>
