The example scripts for mom_priv/blcr_checkpoint_script and mom_priv/blcr_restart_script given on http://www.adaptivecomputing.com/resources/docs/torque/2-5-9/2.6jobcheckpoint.php no longer work. E.g. there is now an additional argument $groupId" to both scripts. Moreover, the scripts included in the directory contrib/blcr of the sources are much more advanced as they for example include this fix but also dropping privileges). Thus, the examples on the web page should be either updated or substituted by a reference to the contrib/blcr directory. However, the number and the type of the arguments given to both scripts should be described on the web page (missing currently). Moreover, the mom_priv/config options $checkpoint_interval, etc. are not at all listed on http://www.adaptivecomputing.com/resources/docs/torque/2-5-9/a.cmomconfig.php. In particular it would be worth mentioning what the default for $checkpoint_interval is and if a value of zero e.g. means no automatic checkpoints.
