(Set System Priorities)

Caution: This command is deprecated. Use mjobctl -p instead.

Synopsis

setspri [-r] priority jobid

Overview

(This command is deprecated by the mjobctl command)

Set or remove absolute or relative system priorities for a specified job.

This command allows you to set or remove a system priority level for a specified job. Any job with a system priority level set is guaranteed a higher priority than jobs without a system priority. Jobs with higher system priority settings have priority over jobs with lower system priority settings.

Access

This command can be run by any Moab Scheduler Administrator.

Parameters

JOB Name of job.

PRIORITY
System priority level. By default, this priority is an absolute priority overriding the policy generated priority value. Range is 0 to clear, 1 for lowest, 1000 for highest. The given value is added onto the system priority (see 32-bit and 64-bit values below), except for a given value of zero. If the '-r' flag is specified, the system priority is relative, adding or subtracting the specified value from the policy generated priority.

If a relative priority is specified on a 32-bit system, any value in the range +/- 1,000,000,000 is acceptable. On a 64-bit system, the range is +/- 0x0fffffffffffffff, or 1,152,921,504,606,846,975.

Flags

-r Set relative system priority on job.

Example 2

Example 3

In this example, the job's priority will be increased by 100000 over the value determine by configured priority policy.
