Dealing With Job Output
Interpreting the Contents of a Job Log File
The scheduler records events in a job log file in the same way that it records events in
a scheduler log file. Events appear in chronological order, and each has a timestamp
and keyword identifying its type.
For information about event keywords and logging formats in event descriptions, see
Dealing With Scheduler Log Files on page 3-38.
Executor-Program Output
A job’s executor-program process writes the commands it executes to the job’s output
file. If the file is a spooler collector process, the scheduler creates a new spooler job for
the output.
Figure 4-12 on page 4-49 shows a commented example of executor-program output.
The output relates to the job whose log file appears in the previous figure.
