How can we prevent new plots from starting?

[cdeniz]

For example, 5 plots are running in parallel. I want to finish these plots and I don't want that the new plots to start.
How can I set it up during manager running?

I'm running into the issue where 5 or more plot jobs are starting (and filling up my temp dirs) when the config.yaml clearly states:

max_concurrent: 3
max_concurrent_with_start_early: 4
stagger_minutes: 90
max_for_phase_1: 2
concurrency_start_early_phase: 4
concurrency_start_early_phase_delay: 0
temporary2_destination_sync: false

Actually, I found out that my temp dirs on 2 of my plotters were full. Is there any logic built in to not start new plots if this happens?

Edit: Even after stopping a stuck job and clearing out its temp files, Swar is still running more than 4 jobs at a time. This is not good.

If you want your plots to finish and not start any new ones, use python manager.py stop

Do you reload your config after changing it using python manager.py restart?

None of the above commands will kill your current plots.

I figured out my problem, and I apologize to OP for hijacking his post when it turned out to be unrelated. In my case I had renamed my job (from the default micron) midway through, and apparently swar doesn't count the old jobs towards the max concurrent jobs.
