.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Qrls
provides a means for a user/operator/manager to release so called
.I 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.
.PP
Holds can be assigned to jobs with the
.M qhold 1 ,
.M qsub 1
or the
.M qalter 1
command.
.PP
There are three different types of holds:
.IP "\fBuser\fP"
User holds can be assigned and removed by managers, operators and the
owner of the jobs.
.IP "\fBoperator\fP"
Operator holds can be assigned and removed by managers and operators.
.IP "\fBsystem\fP"
System holds can be assigned and removed by managers only.
.PP
If no hold type is specified with the \fB\-h\fP option (see below)
the user hold is assumed by default.
.PP
An alternate way to release holds is the
.M qalter 1
command (see the \fI\-h\fP option).
.\"
.\"
.SH OPTIONS
.\"
.IP "\fB\-h\fP {\fBu\fP|\fBo\fP|\fBs\fP},..."
Releases a u(ser), o(perator) or s(system) hold or a combination thereof
from one or more jobs.
.\"
.IP "\fB\-help\fP"
Prints a listing of all options.
.\"
.IP "\fB\-u username,...\fP"
Modifies the hold state of those jobs which were submitted by
users specified in the list of usernames.
Managers are allowed to use the \fB\qrls -u "*"\fP command
to modify the hold state for jobs of all users.
.sp 1
If a user uses the \fB\-u\fP switch, the user may
specify an additional \fI\job/task_id_list\fP. 
.\"
.IP "\fBjob/task_id_list\fP"
Specified by the following form:
.sp 1
.ta 0.5i
    \fIjob_id[.task_range][,job_id[.task_range],...]\fP
.ta 0.0i
.sp 1
If present, the \fItask_range\fP restricts the effect of the
operation to the array job task range specified as suffix to the job id
(see the \fB\-t\fP option to
.M qsub 1
for further details on array jobs).
.sp 1
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.
.sp 1
Instead of \fIjob/task_id_list\fP it is possible to
use the keyword 'all' to modify all jobs of the
current user.

.SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES"
.\" 
.IP "\fBSGE_ROOT\fP" 1.5i
Specifies the location of the Grid Engine standard configuration
files.
.\"
.IP "\fBSGE_CELL\fP" 1.5i
If set, specifies the default Grid Engine cell. To address a Grid Engine
cell
.I qrls
uses (in the order of precedence):
.sp 1
.RS
.RS
The name of the cell specified in the environment 
variable SGE_CELL, if it is set.
.sp 1
The name of the default cell, i.e. \fBdefault\fP.
.sp 1
.RE
.RE
.\"
.IP "\fBSGE_DEBUG_LEVEL\fP" 1.5i
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.
.\"
.IP "\fBSGE_QMASTER_PORT\fP" 1.5i
If set, specifies the tcp port on which
.M 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.
