Hi, I'd like to propose you a new feature for crab2, that allows to resubmit the set of failed jobs without having to copy-paste by hand the list(s) of failed jobs from -status output.

The use case should be obvious: it is particularly important in case multicrab is used. In that case it is not possible to resubmit via multicrab, since each task need its own list of failed job.

The syntax could be simply

crab -resubmit bad

(similar to crab -resubmit all )

I have the modification in the code ready in 284 and I'm using it w/o problems (crab.py, Resubmitter.py and ResubmitterServer.py)

The implementation is such that the following jobs are resubmitted:

in status ['KillSuccess','SubFailed','Aborted']

in status ['Cleared'] if the job or wrapper exit code is not 0.

The set can be expanded easily.

Best, StefanoL
