qdel - delete batch jobs
Návod, kniha: POSIX Programmer's Manual
qdel job_identifier ...
A batch job is deleted by sending a request to the batch server that manages the
batch job. A batch job that has been deleted is no longer subject to
management by batch services.
The
qdel utility is a user-accessible client of batch services that
requests the deletion of one or more batch jobs.
The
qdel utility shall request a batch server to delete those batch jobs
for which a batch
job_identifier is presented to the utility.
The
qdel utility shall delete batch jobs in the order in which their
batch
job_identifiers are presented to the utility.
If the
qdel utility fails to process any batch
job_identifier
successfully, the utility shall proceed to process the remaining batch
job_identifiers, if any.
The
qdel utility shall delete each batch job by sending a
Delete
Job Request to the batch server that manages the batch job.
The
qdel utility shall not exit until the batch job corresponding to each
successfully processed batch
job_identifier has been deleted.
None.
The
qdel utility shall accept one or more operands that conform to the
syntax for a batch
job_identifier (see
Batch Job Identifier ).
Not used.
None.
The following environment variables shall affect the execution of
qdel:
- LANG
- Provide a default value for the internationalization
variables that are unset or null. (See the Base Definitions volume of
IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Section 8.2, Internationalization
Variables for the precedence of internationalization variables used to
determine the values of locale categories.)
- LC_ALL
- If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of
all the other internationalization variables.
- LC_CTYPE
- Determine the locale for the interpretation of sequences of
bytes of text data as characters (for example, single-byte as opposed to
multi-byte characters in arguments).
- LC_MESSAGES
- Determine the locale that should be used to affect the
format and contents of diagnostic messages written to standard error.
- LOGNAME
- Determine the login name of the user.
Default.
An implementation of the
qdel utility may write informative messages to
standard output.
The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic messages.
None.
None.
The following exit values shall be returned:
- 0
- Successful completion.
- >0
- An error occurred.
In addition to the default behavior, the
qdel utility shall not be
required to write a diagnostic message to standard error when the error reply
received from a batch server indicates that the batch
job_identifier
does not exist on the server. Whether or not the
qdel utility waits to
output the diagnostic message while attempting to locate the job on other
servers is implementation-defined.
The following sections are informative.
None.
None.
The
qdel utility allows users and administrators to delete jobs.
The
qdel utility provides functionality that is not otherwise available.
For example, the
kill utility of the operating system does not suffice.
First, to use the
kill utility, the user might have to log in on a
remote node, because the
kill utility does not operate across the
network. Second, unlike
qdel,
kill cannot remove jobs from
queues. Lastly, the arguments of the
qdel utility are job identifiers
rather than process identifiers, and so this utility can be passed the output
of the
qselect utility, thus providing users with a means of deleting a
list of jobs.
Because a set of jobs can be selected using the
qselect utility, the
qdel utility has not been complicated with options that provide for
selection of jobs. Instead, the batch jobs to be deleted are identified
individually by their job identifiers.
Historically, the
qdel utility has been a component of NQS, the existing
practice on which it is based. However, the
qdel utility defined in
this volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 does not provide an option
for specifying a signal number to send to the batch job prior to the killing
of the process; that capability has been subsumed by the
qsig utility.
A discussion was held about the delays of networking and the possibility that
the batch server may never respond, due to a down router, down batch server,
or other network mishap. The DESCRIPTION records this under the words
"fails to process any job identifier". In the broad sense, the
network problem is also an error, which causes the failure to process the
batch job identifier.
None.
