Cloning Jobs

GAT also allows for a job management primitive called ``cloning.'' With the advent of Dolly, the now infamous ewe, the concept of cloning should be at least familiar to most. Cloning is the process of making a genetically identical organism from a single cell or individual by some asexual means. From one Dolly they made two, the immaculate conception. GAT also has a similar primitive. One can clone a job, make an exact copy of the running job. So, if your encephalon simulation has found a new home on a proper resource, such as the Earth Simulator, and you want to make an exact copy of the running job on your Commodore VIC-20 for old time sake, GAT allows you to do just that, though the utility of such in this case is at best dubious. To actually clone a Job one simply needs to call a single function Clone on a Job. That's it.
