NAME
qdel - delete Grid Engine jobs from queues
SYNTAX
qdel [ -f ] [ -help ] [ -u wc_user_list ] [
wc_job_range_list ]
DESCRIPTION
Qdel provides a means for a user/operator/manager to delete
one or more jobs. A manager/operator can delete jobs of any
user while a user can only delete his own jobs. In case that
a manager wants to delete another users job, he can specify
the job id. If the manager is using a job name or pattern,
he has also to specify the user name via "-u wc_user_list".
A "qdel wc_job_name" deletes per default only the jobs of
the calling user. Qdel deletes jobs in the order in which
their job identifiers are presented. Find additional infor-
mation concerning wc_user_list and wc_job_list in
sge_types(1).
OPTIONS
-f Force action for running jobs. The job(s) are deleted
from the list of jobs registered at sge_qmaster(8) even
if the sge_execd(8) controlling the job(s) does not
respond to the delete request sent by sge_qmaster(8).
Users which are neither Grid Engine managers nor operators
can only use the -f option (for their own jobs) if the clus-
ter configuration entry qmaster_params contains the flag
ENABLE_FORCED_QDEL (see sge_conf(5)). However, behavior for
administrative and non-administrative users differs. Jobs
are deleted from the Grid Engine database immediately in
case of administrators. Otherwise, a regular deletion is
attempted first and a forced cancellation is only executed
if the regular deletion was unsuccessful.
-help
Prints a listing of all options.
-u wc_user_list
Deletes only those jobs which were submitted by users
specified in the list of usernames. For managers it is
possible to use qdel -u "*" to delete all jobs of all
users. If a manager wants to delete a specific job of a
user, he has to specify the user and the job. If no job
is specified all jobs from that user are deleted.
wc_job_range_list
A list of jobs, which should be deleted
ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES
SGE_ROOT Specifies the location of the Grid Engine
standard configuration files.
SGE_CELL If set, specifies the default Grid Engine
cell. To address a Grid Engine cell qdel uses
(in the order of precedence):
The name of the cell specified in the
environment variable SGE_CELL, if it is
set.
The name of the default cell, i.e.
default.
SGE_DEBUG_LEVEL
If set, specifies that debug information
should be written to stderr. In addition the
level of detail in which debug information is
generated is defined.
SGE_QMASTER_PORT
If set, specifies the tcp port on which
sge_qmaster(8) is expected to listen for com-
munication requests. Most installations will
use a services map entry for the service
"sge_qmaster" instead to define that port.
