M.7 Test 5 - Periodic Checkpoint

M.7.1 Introduction

This test determines if automatic periodic checkpoint will work.

M.7.2 Test Steps

Start the job with the option -c enabled,periodic,interval=1 and look in the checkpoint directory for checkpoint images to be generated about every minute.

> qsub -c enabled,periodic,interval=1 test.sh

999.xxx.yyy

M.7.3 Successful Results

After each qrls, the job's output should resume. Also tried "while true; do qrls 999; qhold 999; done" and this seemed to work as well.
