I'm not sure that the kill command worked right, since the jobs were pending and got retried after the kill command was issued.\r\n\r\nWhy can't we make crab commands accept a request name instead of a working directory, at least for some commands (status, kill)?"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/dmwm/CRABClient/issues/comments/205784082","html_url":"https://github.com/dmwm/CRABClient/issues/4607#issuecomment-205784082","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/dmwm/CRABClient/issues/4607","id":205784082,"user":{"login":"matz-e","id":2151261,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/2151261?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/matz-e","html_url":"https://github.com/matz-e","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/matz-e/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/matz-e/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/matz-e/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/matz-e/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/matz-e/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/matz-e/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/matz-e/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/matz-e/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/matz-e/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-04-05T12:48:45Z","updated_at":"2016-04-05T12:48:45Z","body":"Thanks, that'll probably do.
