13 qmove — move batch jobs
14
16 qmove destination job_identifier...
17
19 To move a batch job is to remove the batch job from the batch queue in
20 which it resides and instantiate the batch job in another batch queue.
21 A batch job is moved by a request to the batch server that manages the
22 batch job. The qmove utility is a user-accessible batch client that
23 requests the movement of one or more batch jobs.
24 The qmove utility shall move those batch jobs, and only those batch
26 jobs, for which a batch job_identifier is presented to the utility.
27 The qmove utility shall move batch jobs in the order in which the cor‐
29 responding batch job_identifiers are presented to the utility.
30 If the qmove utility fails to process a batch job_identifier success‐
32 fully, the utility shall proceed to process the remaining batch
33 job_identifiers, if any.
34 The qmove utility shall move batch jobs by sending a Move Job Request
36 to the batch server that manages each batch job. The qmove utility
37 shall not exit before the batch jobs corresponding to all successfully
38 processed batch job_identifiers have been moved.
39
41 None.
42
44 The qmove utility shall accept one operand that conforms to the syntax
45 for a destination (see Section 3.3.2, Destination).
46 The qmove utility shall accept one or more operands that conform to the
48 syntax for a batch job_identifier (see Section 3.3.1, Batch Job Identi‐
49 fier).
50
52 Not used.
53
55 None.
56
58 The following environment variables shall affect the execution of
59 qmove:
60 LANG Provide a default value for the internationalization vari‐
62 ables that are unset or null. (See the Base Definitions vol‐
63 ume of POSIX.1‐2008, Section 8.2, Internationalization Vari‐
64 ables the precedence of internationalization variables used
65 to determine the values of locale categories.)
66 LC_ALL If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of
68 all the other internationalization variables.
69 LC_CTYPE Determine the locale for the interpretation of sequences of
71 bytes of text data as characters (for example, single-byte as
72 opposed to multi-byte characters in arguments).
73 LC_MESSAGES
75 Determine the locale that should be used to affect the format
76 and contents of diagnostic messages written to standard
77 error.
78 LOGNAME Determine the login name of the user.
80
82 Default.
83
85 None.
86
88 The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic messages.
89
91 None.
92
94 None.
95
97 The following exit values shall be returned:
98 0 Successful completion.
100 >0 An error occurred.
102
104 In addition to the default behavior, the qmove utility shall not be
105 required to write a diagnostic message to standard error when the error
106 reply received from a batch server indicates that the batch job_identi‐
107 fier does not exist on the server. Whether or not the qmove utility
108 waits to output the diagnostic message while attempting to locate the
109 job on other servers is implementation-defined.
110 The following sections are informative.
112
114 None.
115
117 None.
118
120 The qmove utility allows users to move jobs between queues.
121 The alternative to using the qmove utility—deleting the batch job and
123 requeuing it—entails considerably more typing.
124 Since the means of selecting jobs based on attributes has been encapsu‐
126 lated in the qselect utility, the only option of the qmove utility con‐
127 cerns authorization. The −u option provides the user with the conve‐
128 nience of changing the user identifier under which the batch job will
129 execute. Minimalism and consistency have taken precedence over conve‐
130 nience; the −u option has been deleted because the equivalent capabil‐
131 ity exists with the −u option of the qalter utility.
132
134 The qmove utility may be removed in a future version.
