Job types
qq currently supports three job types: standard, loop, continuous.
standard jobs are the default type. Any job for which you don't specify a job-type when submitting is considered standard. Read more about standard jobs here.
loop jobs automatically submit their continuation before finishing. They also track their cycle and archive output files. Read more about them here.
continuous jobs are "poor man's loop jobs". Similarly to loop jobs, they automatically submit their continuation before finishing, but they do not track their cycle and do not perform any archiving operations. Read more about them here.
