       qdel - delete Grid Engine jobs from queues

[1mDESCRIPTION[0m
       [4mQdel[24m 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. If
       the manager is using a job name or pattern, he or she 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.  [4mQdel[24m deletes jobs in the
       order  in  which  their  job identifiers are presented. Find additional
       information concerning [4mwc_user_list[24m and [4mwc_job_list[24m in [4msge_types[24m(1).

[1mOPTIONS[0m
       [1m-f     [22mForce deletion of job(s). The job(s) are deleted from  the  list
              of jobs registered at [4mge_qmaster[24m(8) even if the [4mge_execd[24m(8) con-
              trolling the job(s) does not respond to the delete request  sent
              by [4mge_qmaster[24m(8).

              Users  which  are neither Grid Engine managers nor operators can
              only use the [1m-f [22moption (for their own jobs) if the cluster  con-
              figuration    entry    [1mqmaster_params    [22mcontains    the    flag
              ENABLE_FORCED_QDEL  (see  [4mge_conf[24m(5)).   However,  behavior  for
              administrative  and  non-administrative  users differs. Jobs are
              deleted from the Grid Engine database  immediately  in  case  of
              administrators. Otherwise, a regular deletion is attempted first
              and a forced cancellation is only executed if the regular  dele-
              tion was unsuccessful.

              Additionally  regular  qdel  requests  can  result  in  a forced
              deletetion of a job if [1mENABLE_FORCED_QDEL_IF_UNKNOWN [22mis  set  in
              the [1mqmaster_params [22m(see [4mge_conf[24m(5))

       [1m-help  [22mPrints a listing of all options.

       [1m-t     [22mDeletes  specified tasks of array job. It means tasks created by
              qsub -t command. For example after creating array job by command
              "qsub  -t 1-100 $SGE_ROOT/examples/sleeper.sh" it is possible to
              delete tasks 5-10 from job array  by  command  "qdel  job_id  -t
              5-10".  All other tasks (1-4 and 11-100) will be executed.

       [1m-u wc_user_list[0m
              Deletes  only those jobs which were submitted by users specified
              in the list of usernames.  For managers it is  possible  to  use
              [1mqdel  -u "*" [22mto 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.

       [1mwc_job_range_list[0m
              A list of jobs, which should be deleted

[1mENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES[0m
       [1mGE_ROOT        [22mSpecifies the location of the Grid Engine standard  con-
                      figuration files.

       [1mGE_CELL        [22mIf  set,  specifies  the  default  Grid  Engine cell. To
                      address a Grid Engine cell [4mqdel[24m uses (in  the  order  of
                      precedence):

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

                             The name of the default cell, i.e. [1mdefault[22m.


       [1mGE_DEBUG_LEVEL [22mIf set, specifies that debug information should be writ-
                      ten  to stderr. In addition the level of detail in which
                      debug information is generated is defined.

       [1mGE_QMASTER_PORT[0m
                      If set, specifies the tcp port on which [4mge_qmaster[24m(8) is
                      expected  to  listen  for  communication requests.  Most
                      installations will use a services map entry for the ser-
                      vice "sge_qmaster" instead to define that port.

[1mFILES[0m
       [4m<ge_root>/<cell>/common/act_qmaster[0m
                      Grid Engine master host file
