    Description:
    The VIR01 lib_batch does not restart automatically like it's supposed to. (And thus clear_vir01 in the job_list is unable to run.) Why?

    (The same can be true of *any* library; see Additional Information below.)

    Resolution:
    In order for the VIR01 batch queue to start automatically, VIR01 needs to be included in the QUE_STARTUP_LIBS in aleph_start.

    Typically, you will find:

    setenv QUE_STARTUP_LIBS "usm01 usm50"

    which you should change to:

    setenv QUE_STARTUP_LIBS "usm01 usm50 vir01"

    If you have this line and the VIR01 batch queue is still not starting, check aleph_start.private.

    If you have a line like this:

    setenv QUE_STARTUP_LIBS "lva01 lva02 lva10 lva50 lva60"

    it needs to be changed to:

    setenv QUE_STARTUP_LIBS "$QUE_STARTUP_LIBS lva01 lva02 lva10"
    setenv QUE_STARTUP_LIBS "$QUE_STARTUP_LIBS lva50 lva60"

    Without the "$QUE_STARTUP_LIBS" (which says that QUE_STARTUP_LIBS should equal the current value of $QUE_STARTUP_LIBS plus the following libraries), the lvann libraries (from this aleph_start.private) will be started and the libraries from the aleph_start will not..

    If there's any question in your mind which libraries are currently included, the command "echo $QUE_STARTUP_LIBS" will tell you.

    Additional Information

    The same is true not just of VIR01, but of *any* library:  in order for the library's batch queue to started automatically by aleph_startup, the library needs to be included in the aleph_start QUE_STARTUP_LIBS list.  (Of course in the case of a local library, it would be added to the QUE_STARTUP_LIBS in aleph_start.private.)
