checkpoints one or more checkpointable jobs
Checkpoints the most recently submitted running or suspended checkpointable job.
LSF administrators and root can checkpoint jobs submitted by other users.
Jobs continue to execute after they have been checkpointed.
LSF invokes the echkpnt(8) executable found in LSF_SERVERDIR to perform the checkpoint.
Only running members of a chunk job can be checkpointed. For chunk jobs in WAIT state, mbatchd rejects the checkpoint request.
(Zero). Checkpoints all of the jobs that satisfy other specified criteria.
Forces a job to be checkpointed even if non-checkpointable conditions exist (these conditions are OS-specific).
Operates only on jobs associated with the specified application profile. You must specify an existing application profile. If job_ID or 0 is not specified, only the most recently submitted qualifying job is operated on.
Enables periodic checkpointing and specifies the checkpoint period, or modifies the checkpoint period of a checkpointed job. Specify -p 0 (zero) to disable periodic checkpointing.
Checkpointing is a resource-intensive operation. To allow your job to make progress while still providing fault tolerance, specify a checkpoint period of 30 minutes or longer.
Checkpoints only jobs that have the specified job name.
The job name can be up to 4094 characters long. Job names are not unique.
The wildcard character (*) can be used anywhere within a job name, but cannot appear within array indices. For example job* returns jobA and jobarray[1], *AAA*[1] returns the first element in all job arrays with names containing AAA, however job1[*] will not return anything since the wildcard is within the array index.
Checkpoints only jobs submitted by the specified users. The keyword all specifies all users. Ignored if a job ID other than 0 (zero) is specified. To specify a Windows user account, include the domain name in uppercase letters and use a single backslash (DOMAIN_NAME\user_name) in a Windows command line or a double backslash (DOMAIN_NAME\\user_name) in a UNIX command line.
Checkpoints the job with job ID 1234.
Enables periodic checkpointing or changes the checkpoint period to 120 minutes (2 hours) for a job with job ID 1234.
When issued by root or the LSF administrator, checkpoints and kills all checkpointable jobs on hostA. This is useful when a host needs to be shut down or rebooted.
