JOB commands

Jobs in the SCHEDULE System are managed using the commands listed below:

Windows/OpenVMS	UNIX/Linux	Description
complete/job	complete	Complete a job run
copy/job	cp or cpjob	Copy a job definition
create/job	mkjob	Create a job definition
delete/job	rmjob	Delete a job definition
directory/job	lsjob	Display a job's properties
edit/job	edjob	Edit a list associated with a job
extract/job	extjob	Extract a list from a job
increment/job	incjob	Cycle the start time forward
insert/job	insjob	Insert a list
modify/job	chjob	Modify a job definition
rebuild/job	rebjob	Rebuild the initiate/prerequisite links
rename/job	mv or mvjob	Change the name of a job
signal/job	sigjob	Signal a scheduling event
submit/job	subjob	Submit a job for execution
type/job	more	Type out a list associated with a job

The /job qualifier is the default. So in this case the section qualifier can be left off.

For a job to be known to the SCHEDULE system an entry must exist. This entry defines all of the attributes:

How to submit the job to an execution queue.
When to start up the job, time or event based starts.
Who to notify when an scheduling event occurs.
What resource requirements are needed to start the job.
How this job is related to other jobs on the same node, other nodes in the cluster or other nodes in the network.
