NAME

6       qterm - terminate processing by a PBS batch server
7

SYNOPSIS

9       qterm [-t type] [server...]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The  qterm  command  terminates  a PBS batch server.  When a server re‐
13       ceives a terminate command, the  server  will  go  into  a  terminating
14       state.   While  in this state, the server will not allow new jobs to be
15       started or enqueued.  By default, qterm will request a "quick" shutdown
16       of  the  PBS server.  Other ways of shutting down the server (specified
17       with the -t argument), and their impact on running jobs, are  described
18       below.   The qterm command will not exit until the server has completed
19       its shutdown procedure.
20
21       In order to execute qterm, the user must have PBS Operation or  Manager
22       privilege.
23

OPTIONS

25       -t type   Specifies the type of shut down.  The type are:
26
27                 quick  This option is used when you wish that running jobs be
28                        left running when the server shuts down.   The  server
29                        will  cleanly  shutdown  and can be restarted when de‐
30                        sired.  Upon restart of the server, jobs that continue
31                        to run are shown as running; jobs that terminated dur‐
32                        ing the server's absence will be placed into the exit‐
33                        ing state.
34

OPERANDS

36       The  server  operand  specifies  which  servers are to shutdown.  If no
37       servers are given, then the default server will be terminated.
38

STANDARD ERROR

40       The qterm command will write a diagnostic message to standard error for
41       each error occurrence.
42

EXIT STATUS

44       Upon  successful  processing of all the operands presented to the qterm
45       command, the exit status will be a value of zero.
46
47       If the qterm command fails to process any operand,  the  command  exits
48       with a value greater than zero.
