Description of issue:

Wanted to try the "event albums". Proccess took to long and stoped it from the webui in the admin area from the worker logs. Realised from top that Python and gunicorn kept running consumming ~100% each From their pid I verified the running proccess ps -ef shows the the Python pid is running manage.py rqworker default and the gunicorn is running /usr/bin/python3 /usr/local/bin/gunicorn --worker-class=gevent --timeout 3600 --bind 0.0.0.0:8001 --log-level=info ownphotos.wsgi

How can we reproduce it:

Start an "event albums" job from the library in the webui then stop it from the worker logs in the admin page. Then monitor top and ps -ef

Additional Information:

I can kill those running proccess from terminal but shouldn't make sense if stopping a job from the worker logs in the admin page actually shooing the job and not just remove the log? Or maybe some other way included in the web ui to stop unfinished jobs gracefully? Thanks

This should be fixed in dev now. We had an infinite loop, and it did not work in a background worker, but an API worker instead.

Stopping jobs is an enhancement, which we track here #135
