jamstream end

Destroy a session's server and mark the session ended.

Usage: jamstream end [OPTIONS] [SESSION]

Destroys the machine, confirms with the provider that nothing tagged with the session is still listed, and rewrites the local state file as ended. Pass a session id prefix, or --last; one of the two is required.

Arguments and options

FlagMeaning
[SESSION]Session id prefix of the session to end. Any unambiguous prefix works; only running sessions match.
--lastEnd the most recently created running session. Conflicts with a prefix.

Example

$ jamstream end 3f2a9c01
Session 3f2a9c01 ended. Instance 512190713 is destroyed.

Or, when only one session is running:

$ jamstream end --last

Notes

  • If the machine is already gone (it idled out, hit its hard cap, or was swept), end says so and still marks the session ended:

    Instance 512190713 was already gone; marking the session ended.

  • If the app kept a copy of the session server's log, end names the file. The machine's own journal is destroyed along with the machine, so that copy is the only place a failed broadcast or take is explained:

    The session server's log is at ~/.local/share/jamstream/sessions/logs/3f2a9c01....log.

  • If the provider still lists instances for the session after the destroy call, end fails loudly and points you at jamstream sweep; it never silently leaves something billing.

  • An ambiguous prefix lists nothing and asks for more characters; run jamstream status to see the ids.
