Sort of, since I'd also like to have dagman submit all child tasks of the completed job.

My problem is general is the following:
- Task A generates a lot of data and some of it is used by taskB that is a DAG child of task A.
- Task A sometimes does not exit properly, although the computation is done.
- If I restart task A by holding and releasing it it does the same, long computation again
(and it has the chance that is again does not terminate properly)
- I can't submit the child jobs of task A without having it completed.

Hmm, this sounds pretty nasty. But I'll give it a try.

Thanks Jaime.
