NAME¶

qrls - release Grid Engine jobs from previous hold states

SYNTAX¶

qrls [ -h {u|o|s},... ] [ -help ] [ job/task_id_list ] qrls [ -h {u|o|s},... ] [ -help ] -u user_list

DESCRIPTION¶

Qrls provides a means for a user/operator/manager to release so called holds from one or more jobs pending to be scheduled for execution. As long as any type of hold is assigned to a job, the job is not eligible for scheduling. Holds can be assigned to jobs with the or the command. There are three different types of holds:

user

User holds can be assigned and removed by managers, operators and the owner of the jobs.

operator

Operator holds can be assigned and removed by managers and operators.

system

System holds can be assigned and removed by managers only.

If no hold type is specified with the -h option (see below) the user hold is assumed by default. An alternate way to release holds is the command (see the -h option).

OPTIONS¶

-h {u|o|s},...

Releases a u(ser), o(perator) or s(system) hold or a combination thereof from one or more jobs.

-help

Prints a listing of all options.

-u username,...

Modifies the hold state of those jobs which were submitted by users specified in the list of usernames. Managers are allowed to use the qrls -u "*" command to modify the hold state for jobs of all users.

If a user uses the -u switch, the user may specify an additional job/task_id_list.

job/task_id_list

Specified by the following form:

job_id[.task_range][,job_id[.task_range],...]

If present, the task_range restricts the effect of the operation to the array job task range specified as suffix to the job id (see the -t option to for further details on array jobs).

The task range specifier has the form n[-m[:s]]. The range may be a single number, a simple range of the form n-m or a range with a step size.

Instead of job/task_id_list it is possible to use the keyword 'all' to modify all jobs of the current user.

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 qrls uses (in the order of precedence):

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 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.
