13 Qdel provides a means for a user/operator/manager to delete one or more
14 jobs. A manager/operator can delete jobs belonging to any user, while a
15 regular user can only delete his or her own jobs. If a manager wants
16 to delete another user's job, the manager can specify the job id. If
17 the manager is using a job name or pattern, he or she must also specify
18 the user's name via "-u wc_user_list". A "qdel wc_job_name" will delete
19 only the jobs of the calling user by default. Qdel deletes jobs in the
20 order in which their job identifiers are presented. Find additional
21 information concerning wc_user_list and wc_job_list in sge_types(1).
22
24 -f Force deletion of job(s). The job(s) are deleted from the list
25 of jobs registered at ge_qmaster(8) even if the ge_execd(8) con‐
26 trolling the job(s) does not respond to the delete request sent
27 by ge_qmaster(8).
28 Users which are neither Grid Engine managers nor operators can
30 only use the -f option (for their own jobs) if the cluster con‐
31 figuration entry qmaster_params contains the flag
32 ENABLE_FORCED_QDEL (see ge_conf(5)). However, behavior for
33 administrative and non-administrative users differs. Jobs are
34 deleted from the Grid Engine database immediately in case of
35 administrators. Otherwise, a regular deletion is attempted first
36 and a forced cancellation is only executed if the regular dele‐
37 tion was unsuccessful.
38 Additionally regular qdel requests can result in a forced dele‐
40 tion of a job if ENABLE_FORCED_QDEL_IF_UNKNOWN is set in the
41 qmaster_params (see ge_conf(5))
42 -help Prints a listing of all options.
44 -t Deletes specified tasks of array job. It means tasks created by
46 qsub -t command. For example after creating array job by command
47 "qsub -t 1-100 $SGE_ROOT/examples/sleeper.sh" it is possible to
48 delete tasks 5-10 from job array by command "qdel job_id -t
49 5-10". All other tasks (1-4 and 11-100) will be executed.
50 -u wc_user_list
52 Deletes only those jobs which were submitted by users specified
53 in the list of usernames. For managers it is possible to use
54 qdel -u "*" to delete all jobs of all users. If a manager wants
55 to delete a specific job of a user, he has to specify the user
56 and the job. If no job is specified all jobs from that user are
57 deleted.
58 wc_job_range_list
60 A list of jobs, which should be deleted
61
63 GE_ROOT Specifies the location of the Grid Engine standard con‐
64 figuration files.
65 GE_CELL If set, specifies the default Grid Engine cell. To
67 address a Grid Engine cell qdel uses (in the order of
68 precedence):
69 The name of the cell specified in the environment
71 variable GE_CELL, if it is set.
72 The name of the default cell, i.e. default.
74 GE_DEBUG_LEVEL If set, specifies that debug information should be writ‐
77 ten to stderr. In addition the level of detail in which
78 debug information is generated is defined.
79 GE_QMASTER_PORT
81 If set, specifies the tcp port on which ge_qmaster(8) is
82 expected to listen for communication requests. Most
83 installations will use a services map entry for the ser‐
84 vice "sge_qmaster" instead to define that port.
