Description

14       condor_qeditmodifies  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-valuemay 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_qeditwill 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 JobStatusmay not be changed with condor_qedit, use  condor_holdto
36       place  a job in the hold state, and use condor_releaseto release a held
37       job, instead of attempting to modify JobStatusdirectly.
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       moveto 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       PeriodicHoldand PeriodicRelease.
45
46       condor_qeditvalidates both attribute names and attribute values, check‐
47       ing for correct ClassAd syntax. An error message  is  printed,  and  no
48       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".
