Use qdel to delete all my jobs at once, not one at a time

Question

This is a rather simple question but I haven\'t been able to find an answer.

I have a large number of jobs running in a cluster (>20) and I\'d like to delete them al

Answer 1

# Delete all jobs owned by the current user.
# 
# Command breakdown:
# ------------------
#
# qselect
# -u selects all jobs that belong to the current user
# -s EHQRTW selects all job states except for Complete
#
# xargs
# --no-run-if-empty Do not run qdel if the result set is empty
#                   to avoid triggering a usage error.
#
# qdel
# -a delete jobs asynchronously
#
# The backslashes are a trick to avoid matching any shell aliases.

\qselect -u $(whoami) -s EHQRTW | \xargs --no-run-if-empty \qdel -a
