I don't know what you're asking here. The "delayed transfer with signals" method works -- when it does -- by causing setting the soft-kill signal to the one which causes the job to produce a checkpoint. If the job then produces a checkpoint before the soft-kill timeout, and when_to_transfer files is set to ON_EXIT_OR_EVICT, and transfer_output_files includes the checkpoint, then it will be transferred as a result of the eviction. The last condition wasn't explicitly stated in that section of the manual, so my apologies if that caused you confusion.

There is currently no way to use transfer_checkpoint_files instead of transfer_output_files on an eviction.
