It will also run, and could even exit with 0. The exit code of any of them will be taken to reschedule the job or put it into error state. job 0, epilog 99 => reschedule but exit code 0 (i.e. not easy to spot why it was rescheduled) job 99, epilog 0 => reschedule but exit code 99 You will get multiple entries in the accounting file for such a job (same for jobs in error state, when you remove the error with `qmod -cj <wc_job>` to let it run again). -- Reuti > Hugh Macdonald > nvizible – VISUAL EFFECTS > > [email protected] > +44(0) 20 3167 3860 > +44(0) 7773 764 708 > > www.nvizible.com > > On 31/01/12 23:27, Reuti wrote: >> Am 31.01.2012 um 23:10 schrieb Ben De Luca: >> >> >>> http://gridscheduler.sourceforge.net/htmlman/htmlman5/queue_conf.html >>> >>> terminate_method >>> >> This will be used in case you issue `qdel`. >> >> Not for a normal termination. >> >> -- Reuti >> >> >> >>> looks like it might be simplest. >>> >>> >>> >>> On Tue, Jan 31, 2012 at 9:51 PM, Ben De Luca >>> <[email protected]> >>> wrote: >>> >>>> Strangely im pondering this issue at the moment.
