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 belonging to any user, while a
regular user can only delete his or her own jobs. If a manager wants
to delete another user’s job, the manager can specify the job id. If
the manager is using a job name or pattern, he or she must also specify
the user’s name via "-u wc_user_list". A "qdel wc_job_name" will delete
only the jobs of the calling user by default. Qdel deletes jobs in the
order in which their job identifiers are presented. Find additional
information 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 ge_qmaster(8) even if the ge_execd(8)
controlling the job(s) does not respond to the delete request
sent by ge_qmaster(8).
Users which are neither Grid Engine managers nor operators can only use
the -f option (for their own jobs) if the cluster configuration entry
qmaster_params contains the flag ENABLE_FORCED_QDEL (see ge_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
GE_ROOT Specifies the location of the Grid Engine standard
configuration files.
GE_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 GE_CELL, if it is set.
The name of the default cell, i.e. default.
GE_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.
GE_QMASTER_PORT
If set, specifies the tcp port on which ge_qmaster(8) is
expected to listen for communication requests. Most
installations will use a services map entry for the
service "sge_qmaster" instead to define that port.
