QDEL(1) Grid Engine User Commands QDEL(1)

qdel - delete Grid Engine jobs from queues

qdel [-f] [-help] [-u wc_user_list] [wc_job_range_list] [-t task_id_range]

Qdel provides a means for a user/operator/manager to delete one or more jobs. A manager/operator can delete jobs belonging to any user, while a regular user can only delete his or her own jobs. If a manager wants to delete another user's job, the manager can specify the job id. A manager using a job name or pattern must also specify the user's name via "-u wc_user_list". A "qdel wc_job_name" will delete only the jobs of the calling user by default. Qdel deletes jobs in the order in which their job identifiers are presented. Find additional information concerning wc_user_list and wc_job_list in sge_types(5).

Force deletion of job(s). The job(s) are deleted from the list of jobs registered at sge_qmaster(8) even if the sge_execd(8) controlling the job(s) does not respond to the delete request sent by sge_qmaster(8).

Users who are neither Grid Engine managers nor operators can only use the -f option (for their own jobs) if the cluster configuration entry qmaster_params contains the flag ENABLE_FORCED_QDEL (see sge_conf(5)). However, the behavior for administrative and non-administrative users differs. Jobs are deleted from the Grid Engine database immediately in the case of administrators. Otherwise, a regular deletion is attempted first and a forced cancellation is only executed if the regular deletion was unsuccessful.

Additionally, regular qdel requests can result in a forced deletion of a job if ENABLE_FORCED_QDEL_IF_UNKNOWN is set in the qmaster_params (see sge_conf(5)).

Prints a listing of all options.
Deletes specified tasks of an array job. It means tasks created by the qsub -t command. For example, after creating an array job with the command "qsub -t 1-100 $SGE_ROOT/examples/sleeper.sh" it is possible to delete tasks 5-10 from the job array with the command "qdel job_id -t 5-10". All other tasks (1-4 and 11-100) will be executed.
Deletes only those jobs which were submitted by users specified in the list of usernames. For managers it is possible to use qdel -u "*" to delete all jobs of all users. If a manager wants to delete a specific job of a user, he has to specify the user and the job. If no job is specified, all jobs from that user are deleted.
A list of jobs which should be deleted.

Specifies the location of the Grid Engine standard configuration files.
If set, specifies the default Grid Engine cell. To address a Grid Engine cell qdel uses (in the order of precedence):

The name of the cell specified in the environment variable SGE_CELL, if it is set.

The name of the default cell, i.e. default.

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.
If set, specifies the tcp port on which 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.
