Hacky script to monitor the progress of batch jobs in slack.

Setup

Add this to your pyproject

slack-job-monitor @ git+https://github.com/elvout/slack-job-monitor.git"

Alternatively, if you're bad at dependency management:

pip3 install git+https://github.com/elvout/slack-job-monitor.git

Have your slack user id and slack bot token into SLACK_USER_ID and SLACK_BOT_TOKEN environment vars.

Have a #webhooks channel.

Usage

Be in the appropriate virtual environment.

Currently only supports commands that take exactly one argument, e.g., a filesystem path or number, etc.

slack-job-monitor command job_1_arg job_2_arg job_n_arg

Periodically updates a message like this in slack:

🔵 RUNNING
user@machine:
command
2m elapsed
43/100 (43%) jobs completed (0 failed)
400% cpu (7m user, 1m sys)
Last updated yyyy-mm-ddTHH:MM:SS.ssssss-tz

Pings you when the job exits in the shell (but not if it's SIGKILLED or your computer crashes :D)
