qenable

qenable(8B)                                                             PBS                                                            qenable(8B)

NAME

       qenable - enable input to a pbs destination

SYNOPSIS

       qenable destination ...

DESCRIPTION

       The qenable command directs that a destination should accept batch jobs.

       The  qenable command sends a Manage request to the batch server specified by destination.  If the command is accepted, the destination will
       accept Queue Job requests which specified the queue.

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

OPERANDS

       The qenable 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 enable that queue at the default server.  If the @server form is given, the request is  to  enable
       all  the  queues at that server.  If a full destination identifier, queue@server, is given, the request is to enable the named queue at the
       named server.

STANDARD ERROR

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

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

SEE ALSO

       pbs_server(8B), qdisable(8B), and qmgr(1B)
