Undefined (no default PJL type)
LSB_DISABLE_RERUN_POST_EXEC
Syntax LSB_DISABLE_RERUN_POST_EXEC=y | Y
Description
If set, and the job is rerunnable, the POST_EXEC configured in the queue is not
executed if the job is rerun.
Running of post-execution commands upon restart of a rerunanble job may not always
be desirable. For example, if the post-exec removes certain files, or does other cleanup
that should only happen if the job finishes successfully, use
LSB_DISABLE_RERUN_POST_EXEC to prevent the post-exec from running and
allow the succesful continuation of the job when it reruns.
Default
Undefined
