Xsibackup job will not terminate itself

I set jobs to run in chain. When fail or success, it is suppose launch another job, but the existing job never terminate itself, making it impossible for the next job to run. I have to manually kill all Xsi job in order to run the next job. Here is the error print out:

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root       1698354 Jun 12 21:03 xsibackup-192.168.20.242.log
[root@QALab01:/vmfs/volumes/5cba66ef-fc7d1e2c-48f7-002590c81022/xsi-dir/var/logs] tail -f xsibackup.

Here is the job running before that error:
"/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/xsi-dir/xsibackup" \
--backup-prog=OneDiff \
--snapshot=doquiesce \
--backup-point=192.168.20.242:22:"/vmfs/volumes/datastore1" \
--backup-type=Running \
--backup-how=Hot \

--on-success="backupId->24202" \
--on-error="backupId->24202" \
--exec=yes >> "/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/xsi-dir/var/logs/xsibackup.log"

This is the job that suppose to run and got the error:
"/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/xsi-dir/xsibackup" \
--backup-prog=XSITools:z \
--host=192.168.20.242:22 \

--backup-id=24202 \
--description="backup to nas1 for cloud upload" \
--exec=yes >> "/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/xsi-dir/var/logs/xsibackup.log"

This happen every time. Any idea in fixing the problem?

Re: Xsibackup job will not terminate itself

First of all, the Man Page clearly states that backup jobs must be three digit strings from 000 to 999
You have an error that you must pay attention to:

ERROR: there are some ongoing rsync process/es loaded into memory. Clean them manually

Use ps -c | grep xsi to identify what zombie rsync processes you have in memory and kill them, i.e: kill -9 12345

On the other side, if you don't want to differentiate between --on-error and --on-success actions, you can just add the jobs to a file

001
002
003

And invoke that file from the crontab.
