NAME

       qmove - move batch jobs

SYNOPSIS

       qmove destination job_identifier ...

DESCRIPTION

       To  move  a  batch  job	is to remove the batch job from the batch queue in which it resides and instantiate the batch job in another batch
       queue. A batch job is moved by a request to the batch server that manages the batch job. The  qmove  utility  is  a  user-accessible  batch
       client that requests the movement of one or more batch jobs.

       The qmove utility shall move those batch jobs, and only those batch jobs, for which a batch job_identifier is presented to the utility.

       The qmove utility shall move batch jobs in the order in which the corresponding batch job_identifiers are presented to the utility.

       If  the	qmove  utility	fails  to  process  a  batch job_identifier successfully, the utility shall proceed to process the remaining batch
       job_identifiers, if any.

       The qmove utility shall move batch jobs by sending a Move Job Request to the batch server that manages each batch job.  The  qmove  utility
       shall not exit before the batch jobs corresponding to all successfully processed batch job_identifiers have been moved.

OPTIONS

       None.

OPERANDS

       The qmove utility shall accept one operand that conforms to the syntax for a destination (see Destination ).

       The qmove utility shall accept one or more operands that conform to the syntax for a batch job_identifier (see Batch Job Identifier ).

STDIN

       Not used.

INPUT FILES

       None.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       The following environment variables shall affect the execution of qmove:

       LANG   Provide  a  default  value  for  the  internationalization  variables  that  are	unset or null. (See the Base Definitions volume of
	      IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Section 8.2, Internationalization Variables for the  precedence  of  internationalization  variables  used	to
	      determine the values of locale categories.)

       LC_ALL If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of all the other internationalization variables.

       LC_CTYPE
	      Determine the locale for the interpretation of sequences of bytes of text data as characters (for example, single-byte as opposed to
	      multi-byte characters in arguments).

       LC_MESSAGES
	      Determine the locale that should be used to affect the format and contents of diagnostic messages written to standard error.

       LOGNAME
	      Determine the login name of the user.

ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS

       Default.

STDOUT

       None.

STDERR

       The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic messages.

OUTPUT FILES

       None.

EXTENDED DESCRIPTION

       None.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values shall be returned:

	0     Successful completion.

       >0     An error occurred.

CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS

       In addition to the default behavior, the qmove utility shall not be required to write a diagnostic message to standard error when the error
       reply  received	from a batch server indicates that the batch job_identifier does not exist on the server. Whether or not the qmove utility
       waits to output the diagnostic message while attempting to locate the job on other servers is implementation-defined.

       The following sections are informative.

APPLICATION USAGE

       None.

EXAMPLES

       None.

RATIONALE

       The qmove utility allows users to move jobs between queues.

       The alternative to using the qmove utility-deleting the batch job and requeuing it-entails considerably more typing.

       Since the means of selecting jobs based on attributes has been encapsulated in the qselect utility, the only option of  the  qmove  utility
       concerns authorization. The -u option provides the user with the convenience of changing the user identifier under which the batch job will
       execute.  Minimalism and consistency have taken precedence over convenience; the -u option has been deleted because the equivalent capabil-
       ity exists with the -u option of the qalter utility.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

       None.
