Description

14       condor_qedit  modifies  job ClassAd attributes of queued HTCondor jobs.
15       The jobs are specified either by cluster number, job ID, owner, or by a
16       ClassAd  constraint  expression. The attribute-value may be any ClassAd
17       expression. String expressions must be  surrounded  by  double  quotes.
18       Multiple attribute value pairs may be listed on the same command line.
19
20       To ensure security and correctness, condor_qedit will not allow modifi‐
21       cation of the following ClassAd attributes:
22
23          *  Owner
24
25          *  ClusterId
26
27          *  ProcId
28
29          *  MyType
30
31          *  TargetType
32
33          *  JobStatus
34
35       Since  JobStatus may not be changed with condor_qedit , use condor_hold
36       to  place  a job in the hold state, and use condor_release to release a
37       held job, instead of attempting to modify  JobStatus directly.
38
39       If a job is currently running, modified attributes for  that  job  will
40       not  affect  the job until it restarts. As an example, for  PeriodicRe‐
41       move to affect when a currently running job will be  removed  from  the
42       queue,  that  job  must first be evicted from a machine and returned to
43       the queue. The same is true for other  periodic  expressions,  such  as
44       PeriodicHold and  PeriodicRelease .
45
46       condor_qedit  validates  both  attribute  names  and  attribute values,
47       checking for correct ClassAd syntax. An error message is  printed,  and
48       no attribute is set or changed if the name or value is invalid.

79       % condor_qedit -constraint 'JobUniverse == 1'  Requirements  '(Arch  ==
80       "INTEL") && (OpSys == "SOLARIS26") && (Disk >= ExecutableSize) && (Vir‐
81       tualMemory >= ImageSize)'
82       Set attribute "Requirements".
