Manually Checkpointing Jobs<br />

Manually Checkpointing Jobs<br />

<strong>LSF</strong> provides the bchkpnt command to manually checkpoint jobs. <strong>LSF</strong> can<br />

only perform a checkpoint for checkpointable jobs as described in “Making<br />

Jobs Checkpointable” on page 315. For example, to checkpoint a job with job<br />

ID 123:<br />

% bchkpnt 123<br />

Job is being checkpointed<br />

Interactive jobs (bsub -I) cannot be checkpointed.<br />

Checkpointing and killing a job<br />

By default, after a job has been successfully checkpointed, it continues to run.<br />

Use the bchkpnt -k command to kill the job after the checkpoint file has been<br />

created. Killing the job ensures the job does not do any processing or I/O after<br />

the checkpoint. For example, to checkpoint and kill a job with job ID 123:<br />

% bchkpnt -k 123<br />

Job is being checkpointed<br />
