Description:
Is there a csh command which could be used to restart the job daemon, for instance, with cron?

Resolution:
The command would be:
csh -f /exlibris/aleph/a23_1/aleph/proc/jobd > & /exlibris/aleph/u23_1/alephe/scratch/jobd.log &
<where 23_1 is the aleph instance>

A complete cron, courtesy of Eric Bevier at University of Minnesota:
We have two tiny shell scripts that stop and start the job daemon:
job_list_stop:
#!/bin/csh -f
source /exlibris/aleph/u23_1/alephe/aleph_start
source $aleph_proc/def_local_env
setenv l_aleph_app_version a${ALEPH_VERSION}_${ALEPH_COPY}
echo "shutdown jobd..."
aleph_ps kill "$aleph_exe/jobd $l_aleph_app_version" >& /dev/null
echo " "
exit
job_list_start:
#!/bin/csh -f
source /exlibris/aleph/u23_1/alephe/aleph_start
source $aleph_proc/def_local_env
echo "starting jobd... "
csh -f $aleph_proc/jobd $ALEPH_VERSION >& /dev/null
echo " "
exit


We run the scripts from cron, like this:
59 00 * * 0 csh -f /exlibris/aleph/u23_1/alephe/job_list_stop
02 03 * * 0 csh -f /exlibris/aleph/u23_1/alephe/job_list_start
