make_work -wu_name name -cushion Ncreates copies of the given 'master workunit' as needed to maintain a supply of at least N unsent results. This is useful for testing purposes.
Note: if you run the file_deleter and/or db_purge, the master workunit or its input files may be deleted (which will cause make_work to fail). To avoid this, give the master workunit a name that contains 'nodelete' as a substring. This causes the file_deleter and db_purge to skip over it.
It may be convenient to have a script that recreates the master workunit. For example:
cp test_workunits/12ja04aa `bin/dir_hier_path 12ja04aa` bin/create_work -appname setiathome -wu_name sah_nodelete -wu_template templates/setiathome_wu_0 -result_template templates/setiathome_result_0 12ja04aa"; page_tail(); ?>
