Hi All--
I'm running many jobs from the command-line...about 1500 jobs in chunks of 100. For the most part, things are going really well, but occasionally, a job (and thus, its chunk) will fail. Is there a way to automatically requeue failed jobs or is this just one of the gotchas of using command-line jobs?
Thanks.

Hey qube_tester,
Actually, the qbsub command line tool includes a --retrywork option (it's documented in the qbsub --help) which tells the supervisor to retry a failed item automatically. Normally you also compliment it with a --retrysubjob option as well since the subjob which ran the failed frame typically dies as well.
Example:
qbsub --retrywork 1 --retrysubjob 1 --range 1-100 Render -s QB_FRAME_NUMBER -e QB_FRAME_NUMBER myscene.ma
Thanks,
Anthony

Beautiful!
Believe it or not, I am working my way through the documentation. Qube! is so feature-rich, it's taking me a while to work through the PDFs!
Thanks again.
