NAME

13       qrerun — rerun batch jobs
14

SYNOPSIS

16       qrerun job_identifier...
17

DESCRIPTION

19       To rerun a batch job is to terminate the session leader  of  the  batch
20       job,  delete  any associated checkpoint files, and return the batch job
21       to the batch queued state. A batch job is rerun by  a  request  to  the
22       batch  server that manages the batch job. The qrerun utility is a user-
23       accessible batch client that requests the  rerunning  of  one  or  more
24       batch jobs.
25
26       The  qrerun  utility  shall  rerun  those  batch jobs for which a batch
27       job_identifier is presented to the utility.
28
29       The qrerun utility shall rerun batch jobs in the order in  which  their
30       batch job_identifiers are presented to the utility.
31
32       If  the  qrerun  utility fails to process any batch job_identifier suc‐
33       cessfully, the utility shall proceed to  process  the  remaining  batch
34       job_identifiers, if any.
35
36       The  qrerun  utility  shall  rerun  batch  jobs  by sending a Rerun Job
37       Request to the batch server that manages each batch job.
38
39       For each successfully processed batch job_identifier, the qrerun  util‐
40       ity  shall have rerun the corresponding batch job at the time the util‐
41       ity exits.
42

OPTIONS

44       None.
45

OPERANDS

47       The qrerun utility shall accept one or more operands  that  conform  to
48       the  syntax  for  a  batch job_identifier (see Section 3.3.1, Batch Job
49       Identifier).
50

STDIN

52       Not used.
53

INPUT FILES

55       None.
56

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

58       The following environment variables shall affect the execution of  qre‐
59       run:
60
61       LANG      Provide  a  default  value for the internationalization vari‐
62                 ables that are unset or null. (See the Base Definitions  vol‐
63                 ume  of POSIX.1‐2008, Section 8.2, Internationalization Vari‐
64                 ables the precedence of internationalization  variables  used
65                 to determine the values of locale categories.)
66
67       LC_ALL    If  set  to  a non-empty string value, override the values of
68                 all the other internationalization variables.
69
70       LC_CTYPE  Determine the locale for the interpretation of  sequences  of
71                 bytes of text data as characters (for example, single-byte as
72                 opposed to multi-byte characters in arguments).
73
74       LC_MESSAGES
75                 Determine the locale that should be used to affect the format
76                 and  contents  of  diagnostic  messages  written  to standard
77                 error.
78
79       LOGNAME   Determine the login name of the user.
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

CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS

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

APPLICATION USAGE

114       None.
115

EXAMPLES

117       None.
118

RATIONALE

120       The  qrerun  utility allows users to cause jobs in the running state to
121       exit and rerun.
122
123       The qrerun utility is a new utility, vis-a-vis existing practice,  that
124       has  been  defined  in this volume of POSIX.1‐2008 to correct user-per‐
125       ceived deficiencies in the existing practice.
126

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

128       The qrerun utility may be removed in a future version.
