NAME

brestart - restart a terminated job that has been checkpointed

SYNOPSIS

brestart [ -h ] [ -V ] [ -x ] [ -N ] [ -B ] [ -f ] [ -q queue_name ] [ -m host_name ... ]
[ -b begin_time ] [ -t term_time ] [ -w depend_cond ] [ -E «pre_exec_command [ argument ... ]
[ -c cpu_limit[ /host_spec ] ] [ -W run_limit[ /host_spec ] ] [ -F file_limit ]
[ -D data_limit ] [ -S stack_limit ] [ -C core_limit ] [ -M mem_limit ]
chkpnt_dir [ < option_script ]

DESCRIPTION

Submit a job to be restarted from the checkpoint files in directory chkpnt_dir. The checkpoint directory must have been created from a previously submitted job that was successfully checkpointed (see bsub(1) ). The restarted job has the same output file and file transfer specifications, job name, window signal value, checkpoint directory and period, and rerunnability as the original job. The -f option forces the job to be restarted even if non-restartable conditions exist (e.g., the job is using sockets). Non-restartable conditions are operating system-specific. If -q is not given, the restarted job is submitted to the same queue as the original job. The option_script is the file which contains the embedded default options for the job. The options on the command line override those embedded in the file. See bsub(1) for the description of the other brestart options and the format of embedded options in option_script (The key word «#BRESTART» is for the brestart embedded option). When a job is restarted, the environment variable, LSB_RESTART, is set to the value Y.

NOTES

If brestart is in a script whose stdin is re-directed, brestart will read all the input from the re-directed stdin. If this input is not intended for brestart, set the brestart stdin to /dev/null; i.e., «brestart ... < /dev/null"
