6 qmove - move batch jobs

9 qmove destination job_identifier ...
10
12 To move a batch job is to remove the batch job from the batch queue in
13 which it resides and instantiate the batch job in another batch queue.
14 A batch job is moved by a request to the batch server that manages the
15 batch job. The qmove utility is a user-accessible batch client that
16 requests the movement of one or more batch jobs.
17 The qmove utility shall move those batch jobs, and only those batch
19 jobs, for which a batch job_identifier is presented to the utility.
20 The qmove utility shall move batch jobs in the order in which the cor‐
22 responding batch job_identifiers are presented to the utility.
23 If the qmove utility fails to process a batch job_identifier success‐
25 fully, the utility shall proceed to process the remaining batch
26 job_identifiers, if any.
27 The qmove utility shall move batch jobs by sending a Move Job Request
29 to the batch server that manages each batch job. The qmove utility
30 shall not exit before the batch jobs corresponding to all successfully
31 processed batch job_identifiers have been moved.
32
34 None.
35
37 The qmove utility shall accept one operand that conforms to the syntax
38 for a destination (see Destination ).
39 The qmove utility shall accept one or more operands that conform to the
41 syntax for a batch job_identifier (see Batch Job Identifier ).
42
44 Not used.
45
47 None.
48
50 The following environment variables shall affect the execution of
51 qmove:
52 LANG Provide a default value for the internationalization variables
54 that are unset or null. (See the Base Definitions volume of
55 IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Section 8.2, Internationalization Vari‐
56 ables for the precedence of internationalization variables used
57 to determine the values of locale categories.)
58 LC_ALL If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of all
60 the other internationalization variables.
61 LC_CTYPE
63 Determine the locale for the interpretation of sequences of
64 bytes of text data as characters (for example, single-byte as
65 opposed to multi-byte characters in arguments).
66 LC_MESSAGES
68 Determine the locale that should be used to affect the format
69 and contents of diagnostic messages written to standard error.
70 LOGNAME
72 Determine the login name of the user.
73
76 Default.
77
79 None.
80
82 The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic messages.
83
85 None.
86
88 None.
89
91 The following exit values shall be returned:
92 0 Successful completion.
94 >0 An error occurred.
96
99 In addition to the default behavior, the qmove utility shall not be
100 required to write a diagnostic message to standard error when the error
101 reply received from a batch server indicates that the batch job_identi‐
102 fier does not exist on the server. Whether or not the qmove utility
103 waits to output the diagnostic message while attempting to locate the
104 job on other servers is implementation-defined.
105 The following sections are informative.
107
109 None.
110
112 None.
113
115 The qmove utility allows users to move jobs between queues.
116 The alternative to using the qmove utility-deleting the batch job and
118 requeuing it-entails considerably more typing.
119 Since the means of selecting jobs based on attributes has been encapsu‐
121 lated in the qselect utility, the only option of the qmove utility con‐
122 cerns authorization. The -u option provides the user with the conve‐
123 nience of changing the user identifier under which the batch job will
124 execute. Minimalism and consistency have taken precedence over conve‐
125 nience; the -u option has been deleted because the equivalent capabil‐
126 ity exists with the -u option of the qalter utility.
127
129 None.
