    SYNOPSIS
         #include "drmaa.h"

         int drmaa_job_ps(
              const char *job_id,
              int *remote_ps,
              char *error_diagnosis,
              size_t error_diag_len
         );

         int drmaa_control(
              const char *jobid,
              int action,

              size_t error_diag_len
         );

    DESCRIPTION
         The drmaa_job_ps() function returns the status of  the  Grid
         Engine  job job_id into the integer pointed to by remote_ps.
         Possible return values are

              DRMAA_PS_UNDETERMINED        job status cannot be determined
              DRMAA_PS_QUEUED_ACTIVE       job is queued and active
              DRMAA_PS_SYSTEM_ON_HOLD      job is queued and in system hold
              DRMAA_PS_USER_ON_HOLD        job is queued and in user hold
              DRMAA_PS_USER_SYSTEM_ON_HOLD job is queued and in user and system hold
              DRMAA_PS_RUNNING             job is running
              DRMAA_PS_SYSTEM_SUSPENDED    job is system suspended
              DRMAA_PS_USER_SUSPENDED      job is user suspended
              DRMAA_PS_DONE                job finished normally
              DRMAA_PS_FAILED              job finished, but failed

         Jobs' user hold and user suspend states can be controled via
         drmaa_control(3).   For  affecting  system  hold  and system
         suspend states the appropriate Grid Engine  interfaces  must
         be used.

      drmaa_control()
         The drmaa_control() function applies control  operations  on
         Grid  Engine  jobs.  jobid may contain either an Grid Engine
         jobid or `DRMAA_JOB_IDS_SESSION_ALL' to refer  to  all  jobs
         submitted    during   the   DRMAA   session   opened   using
         drmaa_init(3).  Legal values for action and  their  meanings
         are:

              DRMAA_CONTROL_SUSPEND        suspend the job
              DRMAA_CONTROL_RESUME         resume the job,
              DRMAA_CONTROL_HOLD           put the job on-hold
              DRMAA_CONTROL_RELEASE        release the hold on the job
              DRMAA_CONTROL_TERMINATE      kill the job

         The DRMAA suspend/resume operations are  equivalent  to  the
         use  of  `-s  <jobid>'  and  `-us <jobid>' options with Grid
         Engine  qmod(1).   The  DRMAA  hold/release  operations  are
         equivalent  to  the use of Grid Engine qhold(1) and qrls(1).
         The DRMAA terminate operation is equivalent to  the  use  of
         Grid Engine qdel(1).  Only user hold and user suspend can be
         controled via drmaa_control(3).  For affecting  system  hold
         and system suspend states the appropriate Grid Engine inter-
         faces must be used.

    ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES
         SGE_ROOT       Specifies the location  of  the  Grid  Engine
                        standard configuration files.

         SGE_CELL       If set, specifies  the  default  Grid  Engine
                        cell  to  be  used.  To address a Grid Engine
                        cell Grid Engine uses (in the order  of  pre-
                        cedence):

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

                             The  name  of  the  default  cell,  i.e.
                             default.

         SGE_DEBUG_LEVEL
                        If  set,  specifies  that  debug  information
                        should  be written to stderr. In addition the
                        level of detail in which debug information is
                        generated is defined.

         SGE_QMASTER_PORT
                        If set,  specifies  the  tcp  port  on  which
                        sge_qmaster(8) is expected to listen for com-
                        munication requests.  Most installations will
                        use  a  services  map entry instead to define
                        that port.

    RETURN VALUES
         Upon    successful    completion,    drmaa_job_ps(),     and
         drmaa_control()  return  DRMAA_ERRNO_SUCCESS.  Other  values
         indicate an error. Up to error_diag_len characters of  error
         related  diagnosis  information  is  then  provided  in  the
         buffer, error_diagnosis.

    ERRORS
         The drmaa_job_ps(), and drmaa_control() will fail if:

      DRMAA_ERRNO_INTERNAL_ERROR
         Unexpected  or  internal  DRMAA  error,  like  system   call
         failure, etc.

      DRMAA_ERRNO_DRM_COMMUNICATION_FAILURE
         Could not contact DRM system for this request.

      DRMAA_ERRNO_AUTH_FAILURE
         The specified request was not processed successfully due  to
         authorization failure.

      DRMAA_ERRNO_INVALID_ARGUMENT
         The input value for an argument is invalid.

      DRMAA_ERRNO_NO_ACTIVE_SESSION
         Failed because there is no active session.

      DRMAA_ERRNO_NO_MEMORY
         Failed allocating memory.

      DRMAA_ERRNO_INVALID_JOB
         The specified job does not exist.

         The drmaa_control() will fail if:

      DRMAA_ERRNO_RESUME_INCONSISTENT_STATE
         The job is not suspended. The resume  request  will  not  be
         processed.

      DRMAA_ERRNO_SUSPEND_INCONSISTENT_STATE
         The job is not running and thus cannot be suspended.

      DRMAA_ERRNO_HOLD_INCONSISTENT_STATE
         The job cannot be moved to a hold state.

      DRMAA_ERRNO_RELEASE_INCONSISTENT_STATE
         The job is not in a hold state.
