swjob [XToolkit_Options][-i][-R][-u][-v][-a attribute] [-C session_file][-f jobid_file]
[-S session_file][-t target_file][-x option=value]
[-X option_file][jobid][@ target_selections]
Options and Operands
XToolkit_Options X window options for use with swjob -i. See “XToolkit Options and

(page 114) for more information.
-C session_file Run the command and save the current option and operand values to
a session_file for re-use in another session. See “Session Files”
(page 39).
-f jobid_file Read a list of job IDs from a separate file instead of (or in addition to)
jobs you specify on the command line. (Use these files just like software
files. See “Software Files” (page 36).)

session, as defined in session_file. See “Session Files” (page 39).
