Swift Restarts

If a run fails, Swift can resume the program from the point of failure. When a run fails, a restart log file will be left behind in the run directory called restart.log. This restart log can then be passed to a subsequent Swift invocation using the -resume parameter. Swift will resume execution, avoiding execution of invocations that have previously completed successfully. The Swift source file and input data files should not be modified between runs.

Normally, if the run completes successfully, the restart log file is deleted. If however the workflow fails, swift can use the restart log file to continue execution from a point before the failure occurred. In order to restart from a restart log file, the -esume logfile argument can be used after the Swift script file name. Example:

$ swift -resume runNNN/restart.log example.swift.
