IBM LoadLeveler for AIX 5L: Using and Administering

restart_from_ckpt

Indicates whether a job step is to be restarted from a checkpoint file.

The syntax is:

restart_from_ckpt = yes | no

Where:

yes

Indicates LoadLeveler will restart the job step from the checkpoint file specified by the job command file keyword ckpt_file. The location of the ckpt_file will be determined by the values of the job command file keyword ckpt_file or ckpt_dir, the administrator defined location or the default location. See Naming checkpoint files and directories for a description of how the checkpoint directory location is determined. This value is valid only when a job is being restarted from a previous checkpoint.

no

The job step will be started from the beginning, not from the checkpoint file. This is the default value for this keyword.
