Suspending a session

About this task

When a session is suspended, any running tasks are given a grace period (suspendGracePeriod in the application profile) to finish. If they do not finish before the grace period, the service instances, on which they are running, are terminated and the tasks are re-queued and put into the pending state. No pending tasks are scheduled until the session is resumed. Any tasks that were re-queued are rerun when the session resumes.
Note: In the case where you suspend a task after the host has been reclaimed, the grace period defined in suspendGracePeriod will be ignored, and the reclaimGracePeriod will be used instead.
