       condor_qedit modify - job attributes

Synopsis

       condor_qedit  [-debug]  [-n  schedd-name]  [-pool  pool-name]  {cluster |cluster.proc |owner |-constraint
       constraint}attribute-nameattribute-value...

Description

       condor_qeditmodifies job ClassAd attributes of queued HTCondor jobs. The jobs  are  specified  either  by
       cluster  number,  job  ID,  owner,  or  by a ClassAd constraint expression. The attribute-valuemay be any
       ClassAd expression. String expressions must be surrounded by  double  quotes.  Multiple  attribute  value
       pairs may be listed on the same command line.

       To  ensure  security  and  correctness,  condor_qeditwill not allow modification of the following ClassAd
       attributes:

          * Owner

          * ClusterId

          * ProcId

          * MyType

          * TargetType

          * JobStatus

       Since JobStatusmay not be changed with condor_qedit, use condor_holdto place a job in the hold state, and
       use condor_releaseto release a held job, instead of attempting to modify JobStatusdirectly.

       If a job is currently running, modified attributes for  that  job  will  not  affect  the  job  until  it
       restarts.  As  an  example, for PeriodicRemoveto affect when a currently running job will be removed from
       the queue, that job must first be evicted from a machine and returned to the queue. The same is true  for
       other periodic expressions, such as PeriodicHoldand PeriodicRelease.

       condor_qeditvalidates  both attribute names and attribute values, checking for correct ClassAd syntax. An
       error message is printed, and no attribute is set or changed if the name or value is invalid.

Options

       -debug

          Causes debugging information to be sent to stderr, based on the value of  the  configuration  variable
          TOOL_DEBUG.

       -n schedd-name

          Modify job attributes in the queue of the specified schedd

       -pool pool-name

          Modify job attributes in the queue of the schedd specified in the specified pool

Examples

       % condor_qedit  -name north.cs.wisc.edu -pool condor.cs.wisc.edu 249.0 answer 42
       Set attribute "answer".
       % condor_qedit  -name perdita 1849.0 In '"myinput"'
       Set attribute "In".
       % condor_qedit  jbasney NiceUser TRUE
       Set attribute "NiceUser".
       %  condor_qedit  -constraint 'JobUniverse == 1' Requirements '(Arch == "INTEL") && (OpSys == "SOLARIS26")
       && (Disk >= ExecutableSize) && (VirtualMemory >= ImageSize)'
       Set attribute "Requirements".

General Remarks

       A job's ClassAd attributes may be viewed with

        condor_q -long

Exit Status

       condor_qeditwill exit with a status value of 0 (zero) upon success, and it will exit  with  the  value  1
       (one) upon failure.
