NAME

       qdisable - disable input to a pbs destination

SYNOPSIS

       qdisable destination ...

DESCRIPTION

       The  qdisable  command  directs that a destination should no longer accept batch jobs.  If
       the command is accepted, the destination will no longer accept Queue  Job  requests  which
       specified  the disabled queue.  Jobs which already reside in the queue will continue to be
       processed.  This allows a queue to be "drained."

       In order to execute qdisable, the user must have PBS Operation or Manager privilege.

OPERANDS

       The qdisable command accepts one or more destination operands.  The operands  are  one  of
       three forms:
            queue
            @server
            queue@server
       If queue is specified, the request is to disable that queue at the default server.  If the
       @server form is given, the request is to disable all the queues at that server.  If a full
       destination  identifier, queue@server, is given, the request is to disable the named queue
       at the named server.

STANDARD ERROR

       The qdisable command will write a diagnostic message to  standard  error  for  each  error
       occurrence.

EXIT STATUS

       Upon successful processing of all the operands presented to the qdisable command, the exit
       status will be a value of zero.

       If the qdisable command fails to process any operand,  the  command  exits  with  a  value
       greater than zero.
