IBM LoadLeveler for AIX 5L: Using and Administering

ckpt_dir

Specifies the directory which contains the checkpoint file.

Checkpoint files can become quite large. When specifying ckpt_dir, make sure that there is sufficient disk space to contain the files. Guidelines can be found in Step 14: Enable checkpointing.

The syntax is:

ckpt_dir = pathname

For example, if checkpoint files were to be stored in the /tmp directory the job command file would include:

ckpt_dir = /tmp

For more information on naming directories for checkpointing, see Naming checkpoint files and directories.

Notes:

1. The values for ckpt_dir are case sensitive.

2. The keyword ckpt_dir is not allowed in the command file for interactive POE sessions.
