plots stay in stat SLP

howdy - sorry for multiple issues in one day… once i have my arms wrapped around this thing id love to help contribute. this seems like a fantastic project!

$ plotman status
 plot id    k           tmp            dst   wall   phase    tmp    pid   stat    mem   user    sys   io
d100ec50   32   /chia-plot1   /chia-buffer   1:14     1:5   175G   2551    SLP   4.9G   1:39   0:03   2s
dafd1a46   32   /chia-plot0   /chia-buffer   1:44     1:7   173G   1987    SLP   4.7G   2:25   0:05   2s

        n_buckets: 128       # Number of buckets to split data into
        job_buffer: 4000     # Per job memory

these drives work fine with chia plots create -k 32 -n 4 -b 4000 -r 4 -t /chia-plot0 -d /chia-buffer

Plotman is just reporting the linux process state via psutil. We should probably make that clearer. Beyond that, I would put it on the user to read about and learn if they want to use that information. We have so much documentation to write on basic aspects of plotman before we’d get to general Linux information. We’re just a couple of volunteers trying to improve plotman in our spare time between our day jobs.

Agreed we need better support for plots started not by plotman. I thought we’d made progress on that. If you don’t mind, could you:

1. file a separate issue to improve documentation of status columns
2. try latest code from development branch and see if it still doesn’t detect other plot jobs; if so, file an issue describing that
3. then we can close this issue

thanks, eric

this is user error / confusion on the status which lead to random errors that should not happen. perhaps the statuses can be defined in docs and provide some context to avoid future confusion?

also should have a better error message when plots are found but not manageable by plotman. example:

$ plotman status plot id k tmp dst wall phase tmp pid stat mem user sys io -------- 32 /chia-plot0/ /chia-buffer/ 7:48 ?:? 0 6506 RUN 1.7G 9:11 0:23 0:43

$ plotman {plot, interactive} TypeError: ‘>’ not supported between instances of ‘int’ and ‘NoneType’
