reexecutes

Reexecutes is the third-person singular present tense of the verb reexecute, meaning to perform an execution again or to run something once more. The term is used primarily in two domains: legal/contractual drafting and computing.

In legal and contractual usage, reexecute (or reexecute) refers to the signing or formal execution of a document again, typically to incorporate amendments, correct errors, or revalidate an agreement after a modification. A document that has been reexecuted may be described as such in filings or minutes, and the act of reexecution can restart or confirm the instrument’s enforceability from a specified date. The concept is more commonly expressed as reexecution or reexecution of the instrument, with reexecute appearing in narrative form.

In computing and software engineering, reexecute denotes starting a program or process anew, often after an update, restart, or failover. In some contexts, reexecution is used to describe deterministic replay or test re-runs, where a previous execution is performed again to verify results or diagnose issues. The exact meaning and terminology vary by organization, and reexecute is often hyphenated as re-execute or referred to as re-execution.

Usage notes: reexecutes is relatively uncommon compared with reexecute or re-execute; it may appear in formal writing, technical logs, or journaled notes to indicate that a subject performs an execution again. The term is not tied to a single standardized definition, and context is essential for interpretation.
