D19393: Prevent rescheduling aborted jobs until all jobs are processed

Wed Dec 4 16:13:41 GMT 2019

TallFurryMan added a comment.

  With that change incorporated (own build of Dec 2), my eqmod-based setup stalled at least once just after the first alignment.
  That first alignment required an adjustment, the mount operated the requested slew, but the alignment module didn't proceed further.

  I believe this log extract points at the issue, where the align module doesn't detect the slew procedure nor its termination:

  I worked around the situation by restarting the scheduler, and specifying a larger tolerance on the alignment, as I only needed one observation target before fog would roll in the early morning and M33 <https://phabricator.kde.org/M33> was already aligned.
