qrerun - rerun batch jobs SYNOPSIS qrerun jobidentifier ... DESCRIPTION To rerun a batch job is to terminate the session leader of the batch job, delete any associated checkpoint files, and return the batch job to the batch queued state. A batch job is rerun by a request to the
batch server that manages the batch job. The qrerun utility is a user- accessible batch client that requests the rerunning of one or more batch jobs. The qrerun utility shall rerun those batch jobs for which a batch jobidentifier is presented to the utility. The qrerun utility shall rerun batch jobs in the order in which their batch jobidentifiers are presented to the utility. If the qrerun utility fails to process any batch jobidentifier suc‐ cessfully, the utility shall proceed to process the remaining batch jobidentifiers, if any. The qrerun utility shall rerun batch jobs by sending a Rerun Job Request to the batch server that manages each batch job. For each successfully processed batch jobidentifier, the qrerun util‐ ity shall have rerun the corresponding batch job at the time the util‐ ity exits. OPTIONS None. OPERANDS The qrerun utility shall accept one or more operands that conform to the syntax for a batch jobidentifier (see Batch Job Identifier ). STDIN Not used. INPUT FILES None. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES The following environment variables shall affect the execution of qre‐ run: LANG Provide a default value for the internationalization variables that are unset or null. (See the Base Definitions volume of
IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Section 8.2, Internationalization Vari‐ ables for the precedence of internationalization variables used to determine the values of locale categories.)
LCALL If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of all the other internationalization variables. LCCTYPE Determine the locale for the interpretation of sequences of
bytes of text data as characters (for example, single-byte as
opposed to multi-byte characters in arguments). LCMESSAGES Determine the locale that should be used to affect the format and contents of diagnostic messages written to standard error. LOGNAME Determine the login name of the user. ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS Default. STDOUT None. STDERR The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic messages. OUTPUT FILES None. EXTENDED DESCRIPTION None. EXIT STATUS The following exit values shall be returned: 0 Successful completion. >0 An error occurred. CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS In addition to the default behavior, the qrerun utility shall not be required to write a diagnostic message to standard error when the error reply received from a batch server indicates that the batch jobidenti‐ fier does not exist on the server. Whether or not the qrerun utility waits to output the diagnostic message while attempting to locate the
job on other servers is implementation-defined. The following sections are informative. APPLICATION USAGE None. EXAMPLES None. RATIONALE The qrerun utility allows users to cause jobs in the running state to exit and rerun.
The qrerun utility is a new utility, vis-a-vis existing practice, that
has been defined in this volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 to correct
user-perceived deficiencies in the existing practice. FUTURE DIRECTIONS None.
