NAME

6       qrerun - rerun batch jobs
7

SYNOPSIS

9       qrerun job_identifier ...
10

DESCRIPTION

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

OPTIONS

37       None.
38

OPERANDS

40       The  qrerun  utility  shall accept one or more operands that conform to
41       the syntax for a batch job_identifier (see Batch Job Identifier ).
42

STDIN

44       Not used.
45

INPUT FILES

47       None.
48

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

50       The following environment variables shall affect the execution of  qre‐
51       run:
52
53       LANG   Provide  a  default value for the internationalization variables
54              that are unset or null. (See  the  Base  Definitions  volume  of
55              IEEE Std 1003.1-2001,  Section  8.2,  Internationalization Vari‐
56              ables for the precedence of internationalization variables  used
57              to determine the values of locale categories.)
58
59       LC_ALL If  set  to a non-empty string value, override the values of all
60              the other internationalization variables.
61
62       LC_CTYPE
63              Determine the locale for  the  interpretation  of  sequences  of
64              bytes  of  text  data as characters (for example, single-byte as
65              opposed to multi-byte characters in arguments).
66
67       LC_MESSAGES
68              Determine the locale that should be used to  affect  the  format
69              and contents of diagnostic messages written to standard error.
70
71       LOGNAME
72              Determine the login name of the user.
73
74

ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS

76       Default.
77

STDOUT

79       None.
80

STDERR

82       The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic messages.
83

OUTPUT FILES

85       None.
86

EXTENDED DESCRIPTION

88       None.
89

EXIT STATUS

91       The following exit values shall be returned:
92
93        0     Successful completion.
94
95       >0     An error occurred.
96
97

CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS

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

APPLICATION USAGE

109       None.
110

EXAMPLES

112       None.
113

RATIONALE

115       The qrerun utility allows users to cause jobs in the running  state  to
116       exit and rerun.
117
118       The  qrerun utility is a new utility, vis-a-vis existing practice, that
119       has been defined in this  volume  of  IEEE Std 1003.1-2001  to  correct
120       user-perceived deficiencies in the existing practice.
121

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

123       None.
