NAME

       qrdel - delete Sun Grid Engine Advance Reservations (AR)

SYNTAX

       qrdel [-f] [-help [-u wc_user_list] wc_ar_list

DESCRIPTION

       Qrdel  provides  a  means  for a user/operator/manager to delete one or more Advance Reservations (AR). A
       manager/operator can delete ARs belonging to any user, while a regular user can only delete  his  or  her
       own ARs.  If a manager wants to delete another user's AR, the manager can specify the AR id.  By default,
       "qrdel  wc_ar_name"  will delete only the ARs belonging to that user. A manager is able to delete another
       user's AR via "-u wc_user_list".  Jobs referring to an AR tagged for deletion will also be removed.  Only
       if all jobs referring to an AR are removed from the Sun Grid Engine database will the AR also be removed.

       Qrdel deletes ARs in the order in which the AR identifiers are  presented.  Find  additional  information
       concerning wc_user_list and wc_ar_list in sge_types(1).

OPTIONS

       -f     Force action for AR. The AR and the jobs using the AR are deleted from the Sun Grid Engine queuing
              system  even  if  the  sge_execd(8) controlling the AR jobs does not respond to the delete request
              sent by the sge_qmaster(8).
              Users which have neither Sun Grid Engine manager nor operator status can only use  the  -f  option
              for their own ARs.

       -help  Prints a list of all options.

       -u wc_user_list
              Deletes  only  those  ARs  which  were submitted by users specified in the list of usernames.  For
              managers, it is possible to use qrdel -u "*" to delete all ARs for all users. If a  manager  wants
              to  delete  a  specific  AR  for  a  user,  he  has to specify the user and the AR id. If no AR is
              specified, all ARs belonging to that user are deleted.

       wc_ar_list
              A list of AR id's that should be deleted

ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES

       SGE_ROOT       Specifies the location of the Sun Grid Engine standard configuration files.

       SGE_CELL       If set, specifies the default Sun Grid Engine cell. To address  a  Sun  Grid  Engine  cell
                      qrdel 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 the  sge_qmaster(8)  is  expected  to  listen  for
                      communication  requests.   Most installations will use a service map entry for the service
                      "sge_qmaster" instead of defining the port.
