Viewing a task state

To view a task state, execute the following command:

kess-control --get-task-state <task ID>|<task name>

where:

• <task ID> is the task ID that the application assigned to the task when it was created.

The application tasks can have one of the following states:

• Started—Task is running.
• Starting—Task is being launched.
• Stopped—Task has been stopped.
• Stopping—Task is stopping.

The ODS, ODFIM, and InventoryScan tasks can also have one of the following states:

• Pausing — Task is pausing.
• Suspended — Task is suspended.
• Resuming — Task is resuming.

The Backup and License tasks cannot be started, suspended, or stopped. They can have only the Started state.
