Qualifiers

/abort or -abort

The ABORT qualifier indicates that the job is to be aborted immediately. If the job has started execution then it is terminated.


/[no]confirm or -[no]confirm

CONFIRM requests that the user be prompted prior to any operation to verify that the selected job is the correct one.

/hostname or -node =hostname

The qualifier specifies what node (either local or remote) you want the operation performed on.

/entry or -entry=number

The ENTRY qualifier selects a particular entry in a scheduling queue.

/[no]hold or -[no]hold

The HOLD and NOHOLD qualifier s force an executing job to be suspended and resumed. If the job has not yet been submitted for execution then at submission time it is submitted as PENDING.

/[no]log or -[no]log

The LOG qualifier causes each completed operation to issue a note to the user.

/restart or -restart=number

The RESTART qualifier will modify the number of allowed restarts for the specified entry in the scheduling queues.

/set_id or -set_id=number

The SET_ID qualifier points to a designated job set. If no number is specified the default implies all job sets.

/set_parameter or -set_parameter="string"

The SET_PARAMETER qualifier specifies information to be passed from one job to another inside a set of jobs.

/set_tag or -set_tag="string"

The SET_TAG qualifier also specifies information to be passed from one job to another inside a set of jobs.

/step or -step=number

The STEP option will set the current step number into the queue entry. If the job fails and is restarted this step number can be used to start up the job in the correct place.
