       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.
