do tasks with time.sleep() block? I stuck a time.sleep() in one of the tasks and it doesn't return until the sleep ends

hi mher

If I send a SIGTERM to a worker, is there any mechanism that the child worker processes can find out about it so they can shutdown? I'm trying to find a simple way to stop my workers from an init script, but the problem is that I have a long-lived task, so the documented behaviior of just waiting for the currently executing tasks to finish doesn't work. A revoke-with-terminate also isn't sufficient - I do need to let that long-lived task finish its

current loop before exiting, not just rude-kill it.

I realize I can fall back on http://docs.celeryproject.org/en/latest/referen... , but that feels like a slightly different use case: that addresses stopping a task while allowing the worker to continue running. For the use case of actually trying to shut down the worker, it feels like there should be a signal-based way to do this that's more in line with the default capabilities of most init script systems (like openrc).

err, "default behaviors" rather
