13 The qdel command deletes jobs in the order in which their job identi‐
14 fiers are presented to the command. A job is deleted by sending a
15 Delete Job batch request to the batch server that owns the job. A job
16 that has been deleted is no longer subject to management by batch ser‐
17 vices.
18 A batch job may be deleted by its owner, the batch operator, or the
20 batch administrator.
21 A batch job being deleted by a server will be sent a SIGTERM signal
23 following by a SIGKILL signal. The time delay between the two signals
24 is an attribute of the execution queue from which the job was run (set‐
25 table by the administrator). This delay may be overridden by the -W
26 option.
27 See the PBS ERS section 3.1.3.3, "Delete Job Request", for more infor‐
29 mation.
30
32 -W delay Specify the delay between the sending of the SIGTERM and
33 SIGKILL signals. The argument delay specifies a
34 unsigned integer number of seconds.
35 -p Forcibly purge the job from the server. This should
37 only be used if a running job will not exit because its
38 allocated nodes are unreachable. The admin should make
39 every attempt at resolving the problem on the nodes. If
40 a job's mother superior recovers after purging the job,
41 any epilogue scripts may still run. This option is only
42 available to a batch operator or the batch administra‐
43 tor.

46 The qdel command accepts one or more job_identifier operands of the
47 form:
48 sequence_number[.server_name][@server]
49
51 The qdel command will write a diagnostic messages to standard error for
52 each error occurrence.
53
55 Upon successful processing of all the operands presented to the qdel
56 command, the exit status will be a value of zero.
57 If the qdel command fails to process any operand, the command exits
59 with a value greater than zero.
