qstop

qstop(8B)								PBS								 qstop(8B)

NAME

       qstop - stop pbs batch job processing at a destination

SYNOPSIS

       qstop destination ...

DESCRIPTION

       The  qstop  command directs that a destination should stop processing batch jobs.  If the destination is a execution queue, the server will
       cease scheduling jobs that reside in the queue for execution.  If the destination is a routing queue, the server will  cease  routing  jobs
       from that queue.

       In order to execute qstop, the user must have PBS Operation or Manager privilege.

OPERANDS

       The qstop command accepts one or more destination operands.  The operands are one of three forms:
	    queue
	    @server
	    queue@server
       If  queue  is specified, the request is to stop that queue at the default server.  If the @server form is given, the request is to stop all
       the queues at that server.  If a full destination identifier, queue@server, is given, the request is to stop the named queue at	the  named
       server.

STANDARD ERROR

       The qstop 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 qstop command, the exit status will be a value of zero.

       If the qstop command fails to process any operand, the command exits with a value greater than zero.
