NAME

12       qrerun - rerun batch jobs
13

SYNOPSIS

15       qrerun job_identifier ...
16

DESCRIPTION

18       To rerun a batch job is to terminate the session leader  of  the  batch
19       job,  delete  any associated checkpoint files, and return the batch job
20       to the batch queued state. A batch job is rerun by  a  request  to  the
21       batch  server that manages the batch job. The qrerun utility is a user-
22       accessible batch client that requests the  rerunning  of  one  or  more
23       batch jobs.
24
25       The  qrerun  utility  shall  rerun  those  batch jobs for which a batch
26       job_identifier is presented to the utility.
27
28       The qrerun utility shall rerun batch jobs in the order in  which  their
29       batch job_identifiers are presented to the utility.
30
31       If  the  qrerun  utility fails to process any batch job_identifier suc‐
32       cessfully, the utility shall proceed to  process  the  remaining  batch
33       job_identifiers, if any.
34
35       The  qrerun  utility  shall  rerun  batch  jobs  by sending a Rerun Job
36       Request to the batch server that manages each batch job.
37
38       For each successfully processed batch job_identifier, the qrerun  util‐
39       ity  shall have rerun the corresponding batch job at the time the util‐
40       ity exits.
41

OPTIONS

43       None.
44

OPERANDS

46       The qrerun utility shall accept one or more operands  that  conform  to
47       the syntax for a batch job_identifier (see Batch Job Identifier ).
48

STDIN

50       Not used.
51

INPUT FILES

53       None.
54

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

56       The  following environment variables shall affect the execution of qre‐
57       run:
58
59       LANG   Provide a default value for the  internationalization  variables
60              that  are  unset  or  null.  (See the Base Definitions volume of
61              IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Section  8.2,  Internationalization  Vari‐
62              ables  for the precedence of internationalization variables used
63              to determine the values of locale categories.)
64
65       LC_ALL If set to a non-empty string value, override the values  of  all
66              the other internationalization variables.
67
68       LC_CTYPE
69              Determine  the  locale  for  the  interpretation of sequences of
70              bytes of text data as characters (for  example,  single-byte  as
71              opposed to multi-byte characters in arguments).
72
73       LC_MESSAGES
74              Determine  the  locale  that should be used to affect the format
75              and contents of diagnostic messages written to standard error.
76
77       LOGNAME
78              Determine the login name of the user.
79
80

ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS

82       Default.
83

STDOUT

85       None.
86

STDERR

88       The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic messages.
89

OUTPUT FILES

91       None.
92

EXTENDED DESCRIPTION

94       None.
95

EXIT STATUS

97       The following exit values shall be returned:
98
99        0     Successful completion.
100
101       >0     An error occurred.
102
103

CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS

105       In addition to the default behavior, the qrerun utility  shall  not  be
106       required to write a diagnostic message to standard error when the error
107       reply received from a batch server indicates that the batch job_identi‐
108       fier  does  not  exist on the server. Whether or not the qrerun utility
109       waits to output the diagnostic message while attempting to  locate  the
110       job on other servers is implementation-defined.
111
112       The following sections are informative.
113

APPLICATION USAGE

115       None.
116

EXAMPLES

118       None.
119

RATIONALE

121       The  qrerun  utility allows users to cause jobs in the running state to
122       exit and rerun.
123
124       The qrerun utility is a new utility, vis-a-vis existing practice,  that
125       has  been  defined  in  this  volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 to correct
126       user-perceived deficiencies in the existing practice.
127

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

129       None.
