NAME

       qmod - modify a Grid Engine queue and running job

SYNTAX

       qmod [options] [wc_job_range_list|wc_queue_list]

DESCRIPTION

       Qmod  enables  users  classified as owners (see queue_conf(5) for details) of a workstation to modify the
       state  of  Grid  Engine  queues  for  their  machine  as  well  as  the  state  of  their  own  jobs.   A
       manager/operator,  or  root,  can  execute  qmod  for  any  queue  and  job  in  a cluster, but only from
       administrative  hosts.   Find  additional  information  concerning  wc_queue_list  and   wc_job_list   in
       sge_types(5).

OPTIONS

       -c

       --clear
              Note: Deprecated, may be removed in future release.  Please use the -cj or -cq switch instead.
              Clears the error state of the specified jobs(s)/queue(s).

       -cj

       --clearjob
              Clears the error state of the specified jobs(s).

       -cq

       --clearqueue
              Clears the error state of the specified queue(s).

       -d

       --disable
              Disables  the  queue(s), i.e. no further jobs are dispatched to disabled queues while jobs already
              executing in these queues are allowed to finish.

       -e

       --enable
              Enables the queue(s).

       -f

       --force
              Force the modification action for the queue despite the apparent current state of the  queue.  For
              example  if  a  queue  appears  to  be suspended but the job execution seems to be continuing, the
              manager/operator can force a suspend operation on the jobs. In any case, the queue or  job  status
              will  be  set,  even  if  the sge_execd(8) controlling the queues/jobs cannot be reached. Requires
              manager/operator privileges.

       -help

       --help Prints a listing of all options.

       -r

       --reschedule
              Note: Deprecated, may be removed in future release.  Please use the -rj or -rq switch instead.
              If applied to queues, reschedules all jobs currently running in this queue.  If applied to running
              jobs,  reschedules  the  jobs.  Requires  root  or  manager  privileges.  In order for a job to be
              rescheduled, it, or the queue in which it is executing must have the rerun flag  activated.   (See
              -r  option  in  the  qsub(1)  man page and the rerun option in the queue_conf(5) man page for more
              information.)  Additional restrictions apply  for  parallel  and  checkpointing  jobs.   (See  the
              reschedule_unknown description in the sge_conf(5) man page for details).

       -rj

       --reschedulejob
              If applied to running jobs, reschedules the jobs. Requires root or manager privileges.

       -rq

       --reschedulequeue
              Reschedules  all  jobs  currently  running  in  the  specified  queues.   Requires root or manager
              privileges.

       -s

       --suspend
              Note: Deprecated, may be removed in future release.  Please use the -sj or -sq switch instead.
              If applied to queues, suspends the queues and any jobs which might be active in them.  If  applied
              to running jobs, suspends the jobs.

       -sj

       --suspendjob
              If  applied  to  running  jobs,  suspends  the jobs. If a job is both suspended explicitly and via
              suspension of its queue, a subsequent unsuspend of the queue will not release the suspension state
              on the job.

       -sq

       --suspendqueue
              Suspends the specified queues and any jobs which might be active in them.

       -us

       --unsuspend
              Note: Deprecated, may be removed in future release.  Please use the -usj or -usq switch instead.
              If applied to queues, unsuspends the queues and any jobs which might be active in them. If applied
              to jobs, unsuspends the jobs.

       -usj

       --unsuspendjob
              Unsuspends the specified jobs. If a job is both suspended explicitly and  via  suspension  of  its
              queue, a subsequent unsuspend of the queue will not release the suspension state on the job.

       -usq

       --unsuspendqueue
              Unsuspends the specified queues and any jobs which might be active in them.

ENVIRONMENT 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 qmod 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
                      communication requests.  Most installations will use a services map entry for the  service
                      "sge_qmaster" instead to define that port.
