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 In order to execute qterm, the user must have PBS Operation or Manager
22 privilege.

25 -t type Specifies the type of shut down. The type are:
26 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
36 The server operand specifies which servers are to shutdown. If no
37 servers are given, then the default server will be terminated.
38
40 The qterm command will write a diagnostic message to standard error for
41 each error occurrence.
42
44 Upon successful processing of all the operands presented to the qterm
45 command, the exit status will be a value of zero.
46 If the qterm command fails to process any operand, the command exits
48 with a value greater than zero.
