QRERUN(1)

💅 QRERUN(1) — the rerun era 💅

okay so this is qrerun, from the User Contributed Perl Documentation crew, and bestie it is SO much simpler than it sounds, i promise 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

qrerun — okay so listen: to rerun a job is to terminate the job and return the job to the queued state in the execution queue in which the job currently resides. that's the whole vibe. it's giving "ctrl+z but make it bureaucracy" 😭

and like, important caveat bestie — if a job is marked as not rerunable then the rerun request will fail for that job. no cap. not me finding that out the hard way 🙈

also: see the option on the qsub and qalter commands. (the crossover episode we didn't know we needed 👑)

and for the record, it is aimed to be feature-compatible with PBS' qsub. slay, compatibility icon ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

qrerun [-? | --help] [--man] [--verbose] <job_id>

like that's it. that's the whole thing. literally one job id and a couple flags 🎀

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

the qrerun command directs that the specified job is to be rerun if possible. that "if possible" is doing a lot of heavy lifting ngl 💀

---

💖 OPTIONS 💖

okay so the documented options are these two, and yes i know the synopsis mentions --verbose too — i'm just telling you what's here, don't come for me 🙈

• -?, --help — a brief help message. quick lil snack of a help message. a little appetizer 🍓
• --man — full documentation. the whole main-character meal. go off, read the full docs 👑

---

⭐ EXIT STATUS ⭐

• on success, qrerun will exit with a value of zero. we love a clean zero. we stan. iykyk ✨
• on failure, qrerun will exit with a value greater than zero. it's giving "something went sideways" 💀

---

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• qalter(1)
• qsub(1)

the friend group. the trio. go read those too bestie 💜
