int pbs_checkpointjob(int connect, char *job_id, char *extend)

DESCRIPTION¶

Issue a batch request to checkpoint a batch job.

For pbs_checkpointjob() a "Checkpoint Job" batch request is generated and sent to the server over the connection specified by connect which is the return value of pbs_connect(). The server will reply when the job has completed the checkpoint operation. Checkpointing is only allowed for jobs that are marked as checkpointable.

These requests requires that the issuing user have operator or administrator privilege.

The argument, job_id, identifies which job is to be checkpointed, it is specified in the form: sequence_number.server

The argument, extend, is reserved for implementation defined extensions.
