[1mNAME[0m
       qdel - delete Grid Engine jobs from queues

[1mSYNTAX[0m
       [1mqdel [22m[ [1m-f [22m] [ [1m-help [22m] [ [1m-u wc_user_list [22m] [ [1mwc_job_range_list [22m]

[1mDESCRIPTION[0m
       [4mQdel[24m provides a means for a user/operator/manager to delete one or more
       jobs. A manager/operator can delete jobs belonging to any user, while a
       regular  user  can only delete his or her own jobs.  If a manager wants
       to delete another user's job, the manager can specify the  job  id.  If
       the manager is using a job name or pattern, he or she must also specify
       the user's name via "-u wc_user_list". A "qdel wc_job_name" will delete
       only the jobs of the calling user by default.  [4mQdel[24m deletes jobs in the
       order in which their job identifiers  are  presented.  Find  additional
       information concerning [4mwc_user_list[24m and [4mwc_job_list[24m in [4msge_types[24m(1).

[1mOPTIONS[0m
       [1m-f     [22mForce  action  for running jobs. The job(s) are deleted from the
              list  of  jobs  registered  at  [4msge_qmaster[24m(8)   even   if   the
              [4msge_execd[24m(8)  controlling  the  job(s)  does  not respond to the
              delete request sent by [4msge_qmaster[24m(8).

       Users which are neither Grid Engine managers nor operators can only use
       the  [1m-f  [22moption (for their own jobs) if the cluster configuration entry
       [1mqmaster_params [22mcontains the flag ENABLE_FORCED_QDEL (see  [4msge_conf[24m(5)).
       However,  behavior for administrative and non-administrative users dif-
       fers. Jobs are deleted from the Grid  Engine  database  immediately  in
       case  of  administrators.  Otherwise,  a  regular deletion is attempted
       first and a forced cancellation is only executed if the  regular  dele-
       tion was unsuccessful.

       [1m-help  [22mPrints a listing of all options.

       [1m-u wc_user_list[0m
              Deletes  only those jobs which were submitted by users specified
              in the list of usernames.  For managers it is  possible  to  use
              [1mqdel  -u "*" [22mto delete all jobs of all users. If a manager wants
              to delete a specific job of a user, he has to specify  the  user
              and  the job. If no job is specified all jobs from that user are
              deleted.

       [1mwc_job_range_list[0m
              A list of jobs, which should be deleted

[1mENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES[0m
       [1mSGE_ROOT       [22mSpecifies the location of the Grid Engine standard  con-
                      figuration files.

       [1mSGE_CELL       [22mIf  set,  specifies  the  default  Grid  Engine cell. To
                      address a Grid Engine cell [4mqdel[24m uses (in  the  order  of
                      precedence):

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

                             The name of the default cell, i.e. [1mdefault[22m.


       [1mSGE_DEBUG_LEVEL[0m
                      If set, specifies that debug information should be writ-
                      ten  to stderr. In addition the level of detail in which
                      debug information is generated is defined.

       [1mSGE_QMASTER_PORT[0m
                      If set, specifies the tcp port on  which  [4msge_qmaster[24m(8)
                      is  expected to listen for communication requests.  Most
                      installations will use a services map entry for the ser-
                      vice "sge_qmaster" instead to define that port.

[1mFILES[0m
       [4m<sge_root>/<cell>/common/act_qmaster[0m
                       Grid Engine master host file
