- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .LP
- .nf
- qrerun \fIjob_identifier\fR...
- .fi
- .SH 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
- .IR qrerun
- utility is a user-accessible batch client that requests the rerunning
- of one or more batch jobs.
- .P
- The
- .IR qrerun
- utility shall rerun those batch jobs for which a batch
- .IR job_identifier
- is presented to the utility.
- .P
- The
- .IR qrerun
- utility shall rerun batch jobs in the order in which their batch
- .IR job_identifier s
- are presented to the utility.
- .P
- If the
- .IR qrerun
- utility fails to process any batch
- .IR job_identifier
- successfully, the utility shall proceed to process the remaining batch
- .IR job_identifier s,
- if any.
- .P
- The
- .IR qrerun
- utility shall rerun batch jobs by sending a
- .IR "Rerun Job Request"
- to the batch server that manages each batch job.
- .P
- For each successfully processed batch
- .IR job_identifier ,
- the
- .IR qrerun
- utility shall have rerun the corresponding batch job at the time
- the utility exits.
- .SH OPTIONS
- None.
- .SH OPERANDS
- The
- .IR qrerun
- utility shall accept one or more operands that conform to the syntax
- for a batch
- .IR job_identifier
- (see
- .IR "Section 3.3.1" ", " "Batch Job Identifier").
- .SH STDIN
- Not used.
- .SH "INPUT FILES"
- None.
- .SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES"
- The following environment variables shall affect the execution of
- .IR qrerun :
- .IP "\fILANG\fP" 10
- Provide a default value for the internationalization variables that are
- unset or null. (See the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017,
- .IR "Section 8.2" ", " "Internationalization Variables"
- the precedence of internationalization variables used to determine the
- values of locale categories.)
- .IP "\fILC_ALL\fP" 10
- If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of all the
- other internationalization variables.
- .IP "\fILC_CTYPE\fP" 10
- 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).
- .IP "\fILC_MESSAGES\fP" 10
- .br
- Determine the locale that should be used to affect the format and
- contents of diagnostic messages written to standard error.
- .IP "\fILOGNAME\fP" 10
- Determine the login name of the user.
- .SH "ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS"
- Default.
- .SH STDOUT
- None.
- .SH STDERR
- The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic messages.
- .SH "OUTPUT FILES"
- None.
- .SH "EXTENDED DESCRIPTION"
- None.
- .SH "EXIT STATUS"
- The following exit values shall be returned:
- .IP "\00" 6
- Successful completion.
- .IP >0 6
- An error occurred.
- .SH "CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS"
- In addition to the default behavior, the
- .IR 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
- .IR job_identifier
- does not exist on the server. Whether or not the
- .IR qrerun
- utility waits to output the diagnostic message while attempting to
- locate the job on other servers is implementation-defined.
- .LP
- .IR "The following sections are informative."
- .SH "APPLICATION USAGE"
- None.
- .SH EXAMPLES
- None.
- .SH RATIONALE
- The
- .IR qrerun
- utility allows users to cause jobs in the running state to exit and
- rerun.
- .P
- The
- .IR qrerun
- utility is a new utility, \fIvis-a-vis\fP existing practice, that has
- been defined in this volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017 to correct user-perceived deficiencies in the
- existing practice.
- .SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS"
- The
- .IR qrerun
- utility may be removed in a future version.
