 In the end, this script generates a bunch of ''.sh'' files (as many as needed), splits the input files in chunks of ''NPROCS'' within the same node and makes the scripts executable. The only thing needed afterwards is to check that all the parameters are correct and ''qsub'' them. It will use the personal project space (hardcoded, you will need to change this) to create task subdirectories for DMTCP.
+**Currently this is not working as expected; for some unknown reason, only 2 random jobs get re-started. I have contacted Calcul Québec about this and they should reply shortly. I will update this page with a bug-free script (or whatever solution they give me.)**
+**Update 2: they did not reply.**
