I noticed that retries are not reported in the joblog:

address@hidden:~$ rm /tmp/runs /tmp/joblog; parallel --joblog /tmp/joblog -k --retries 3 'echo tried {} >>/tmp/runs; echo completed {} 2>&1 ; exit {}' ::: 1 2 0
completed 1
completed 2
completed 0
address@hidden:~$ cat /tmp/joblog
Seq    Host    Starttime    JobRuntime    Send    Receive    Exitval    Signal    Command
1    :    1540429833.064         0.002    0    12    1    0    echo tried 1 >>/tmp/runs; echo completed 1 2>&1 ; exit 1
2    :    1540429833.066         0.000    0    12    2    0    echo tried 2 >>/tmp/runs; echo completed 2 2>&1 ; exit 2
3    :    1540429833.060         0.003    0    12    0    0    echo tried 0 >>/tmp/runs; echo completed 0 2>&1 ; exit 0
address@hidden:~$ cat /tmp/runs
tried 1
tried 2
tried 0
tried 1
tried 2
tried 1
tried 2

I'm not sure if that is the intended behavior. I had wanted to use the joblog as a log of all jobs that were run - not just the last one.

Thanks
