condor_qedit

modify job attributes

Synopsis

condor_qedit [-n schedd-name] {cluster | cluster.proc | owner | -constraint constraint} attribute-name attribute-value ...

   

Description

condor_qedit modifies job attributes in the Condor job queue. The jobs are specified either by cluster number, cluster.proc job ID, owner, or by a ClassAd constraint expression. The attribute-value may be any ClassAd expression (integer, floating point number, string, expression).

Options

Supported options are as follows:

-n schedd-name

Modify job attributes in the queue of the specified schedd

Examples

% condor_qedit -name perdita 1849.0 In '"myinput"'
Set attribute "In".
% condor_qedit jbasney NiceUser TRUE
Set attribute "NiceUser".
% condor_qedit -constraint 'JobUniverse == 1' Requirements '(Arch == "INTEL") && (OpSys == "SOLARIS26") && (Disk >= ExecutableSize) && (VirtualMemory >= ImageSize)'
Set attribute "Requirements".

General Remarks

You can view the list of attributes with their current values for a job with condor_q -long.

Strings must be specified with quotes (for example, '"String"').

If a job is currently running, modified attributes for that job will not take effect until the job restarts.

condor_qedit will not allow modification of the following attributes to ensure security and correctness: Owner, ClusterId, ProcId, MyType, TargetType, and JobStatus.

Please use condor_hold to place a job ``on hold'' and condor_release to release a held job, instead of attempting to modify JobStatus directly.

Exit Status

condor_qedit will exit with a status value of 0 (zero) upon success, and it will exit with the value 1 (one) upon failure.
