Is there a better way I should be killing all the threads? You want to SIGINT the main process, not all the jobs that are running. If you do that, you would get the same behavior as when you ctrl-c a running job. The way you are doing it, you are randomly killing job processes. You want to let the main thread shut things down instead. -- Jens Axboe -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe fio" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
