Stop sync job after xxx hours

[michaelsage]

Hi,
I have a bit of a weird issue, sometimes my sync job just runs and runs and won't stop. This means the following days sync task doesn't run (and it also appears to "hang" a garbage collection job). Is there any way to stop a job running after x number of hours? Normally this job completes within an hour, I suspect it something to do with the fact is it's going to an s3 compatible endpoint and is probably not PBSs "fault".

The job won't terminate with a normal stop within the webgui, so I think a force stop after x hours would be the best approach. Is there a way to do this in the GUI or using a script?

Thanks

Michael

Do you see some errors in the systemd journal during the timespan of the sync job? Please also post proxmox-backup-manager version --verbose

Could be done using an api client or proxmox-backup-debug via the api endpoint https://pbs.proxmox.com/docs/api-viewer/index.html#/nodes/{node}/tasks/{upid} but better would be to identify what the issue is so we might fix this.
