I just want to know what 0 represents in "look back" clause of autosys.

For example: 

s(job_name,0)

Thanks.

0 declares that a predecessor condition is only valid if it is newer than the jobs own state.

Example: a predecessor runs at 12:00 and its successor runs at 12:01. a time condition tells the successor to run again at 1:00 however 12:01 is more recent than 12:00 and lookback 0 does not validate. If the predecessor runs again at 1:30 then 1:30 is more recent than 12:01 and lookback 0 will then validate and start the second job.
