PROLOG
       This  manual  page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the  corresponding
       Linux  manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
       not be implemented on Linux.
NAME
       qrerun - rerun batch jobs
SYNOPSIS
       qrerun job_identifier ...
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
       job_identifier is presented to the utility.
       The qrerun utility shall rerun batch jobs in the order in  which  their
       batch job_identifiers are presented to the utility.
       If  the  qrerun  utility fails to process any batch job_identifier suc-
       cessfully, the utility shall proceed to  process  the  remaining  batch
       job_identifiers, 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 job_identifier, 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 job_identifier (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.)
       LC_ALL If set to a non-empty string value, override the values  of  all
              the other internationalization variables.
       LC_CTYPE
              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).
       LC_MESSAGES
              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 job_identi-
       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.
