NAME
qterm - terminate processing by a pbs batch server
SYNOPSIS
qterm [-t type] [server...]
DESCRIPTION
The qterm command terminates a batch server. When a server receives a
terminate command, The server will go into Terminating state. No new
jobs will be allowed to be started into execution nor enqueued into the
server. The impact on jobs currently being run by the server depends
on the type of shut down requested as described below. The qterm com-
mand will not exit until the server has completed it shutdown proce-
dure.
In order to execute qterm, the user must have PBS Operation or Manager
privilege.
OPTIONS
-t type Specifies the type of shut down. The types are:
immediate
All running jobs are to immediately stop execution.
If checkpoint is supported, running jobs that can be
checkpointed are checkpointed, terminated, and
requeued. If checkpoint is not supported or the job
cannot be checkpointed, running jobs are requeued if
the rerunable attribute is true. Otherwise, jobs are
killed.
Normally the server will not shutdown until there are
no jobs in the running state. If the server is unable
to contact the MOM of running job, the job is still
listed as running. The server may be forced down by a
second qterm -t immediate command.
delay If checkpoint is supported, running jobs that can be
checkpointed are checkpointed, terminated, and
requeued. If a job cannot be checkpointed, but can be
rerun, the job is terminated and requeued. Otherwise,
running jobs are allowed to continue to run. Note,
the operator or administrator may use the qrerun and
qdel commands to remove running jobs.
quick This option is used when you wish that running jobs be
left running when the server shuts down. The server
will cleanly shutdown and can be restarted when
desired. Upon restart of the server, jobs that con-
tinue to run are shown as running; jobs that termi-
nated during the server’s absence will be placed into
the exiting state.
This is the default action if the -t option is not
specified.
OPERANDS
The server operand specifies which servers are to shutdown. If no
servers are given, then the default server will be terminated.
STANDARD ERROR
The qterm command will write a diagnostic message to standard error for
each error occurrence.
EXIT STATUS
Upon successful processing of all the operands presented to the qterm
command, the exit status will be a value of zero.
If the qterm command fails to process any operand, the command exits
with a value greater than zero.
