Hi. Is there a way to pause a job (say because an external device needs input) and then unpause the job so it can continue? The hope would be to provide a signal so that the user at the web UI knows.

hi @Leigh Stoller! the closest approximation I think you could get would be to explicitly log some sort of event (i.e.

<http://context.log.info|context.log.info>("waiting for external device input")

) then manually sleeping within the body of the op. but there's no specific alerting mechanism in the UI beyond just the logs that are produced from each step

OK, thanks very much for the info!
