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

Try

$ qdel {id1..id2}

So for example:

$ qdel {1148613..1148650}

Answer 2

sometimes a simple grep/cut can help too: qstat | grep $USER | cut -d. -f1 | xargs qdel

This way we can also grep on a particular keyword for the jobs and delete them.

Answer 3

qstat | cut -d. -f1 | sed "s;   \(.*\) 0;qdel \1;" | bash

sed's power.

Answer 4

For UGE:

qstat -u | gawk '{print $1}' | xargs qdel

Answer 5

Found the answer buried in an old supercluster.org thread:

qselect -u <username> | xargs qdel

Worked flawlessly.

Answer 6

Building on what Gabriel answered:

qselect -u <username> | xargs qdel

qselect -u <username> -s <state> | xargs qdel

<state> would be R for running jobs only.

qselect will allow you to select job based on other criterias, like ressources asked (-l), destination queue (-q) ...

qdel -u <username>

will only work with SGE
