archivepurge does not exit

[theAeon]

It appears to be looping on purge_empty_folders infinitely when stopped with a keyboardinterrupt. Does not appear to matter if run under slurm or not. Version used is 0.10.2-arcts.

Can you provide an step by step example how to reproduce the issue?

Also 0.10.2-arcts isn't a version of archivetar. The current version is the v0.14.x series,

0.10.2 is the patched version of mpifileutils that is used internally but is not used by the purge_empty_folders function.

My bad! Got the two confused. 0.14.3 is the version I've been using. I just had a relatively long archivepurge exit cleanly, so I think the condition under which this occurs is small jobs. In terms of step-by-step, I'm using the three commands here: https://github.com/brockpalen/archivetar/blob/master/USAGE.md#archiving-specific-files-filters
