NAME

6       qdel - delete pbs batch job
7

SYNOPSIS

9       qdel                   [-W                   delay]                  []
10       job_identifier ...
11

DESCRIPTION

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
19       A batch job may be deleted by its owner, the  batch  operator,  or  the
20       batch administrator.
21
22       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
28       See  the PBS ERS section 3.1.3.3, "Delete Job Request", for more infor‐
29       mation.

OPTIONS

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
36       -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.
44

OPERANDS

46       The  qdel  command  accepts  one or more job_identifier operands of the
47       form:
48           sequence_number[.server_name][@server]
49

STANDARD ERROR

51       The qdel command will write a diagnostic messages to standard error for
52       each error occurrence.
53

EXIT STATUS

55       Upon  successful  processing  of all the operands presented to the qdel
56       command, the exit status will be a value of zero.
57
58       If the qdel command fails to process any  operand,  the  command  exits
59       with a value greater than zero.
