Modify attributes (including queue) of a pbs jobs

问题

I want to change the attributes (walltime and queue) of several (idle) jobs scheduled on a cluster.

When I do (where 1234 is the job id):

qalter -l walltime=24:00:00 -q newQueue 1234

I get the following error:

qalter: illegally formed job identifier: newQueue

What can I do?

回答1:

You need to do this in two steps:

1. qalter to change the walltime

   qalter -l walltime=24:00:00 1234
   

2. qmove to move the job to newQueue

   qmove newQueue 1234
   

This order might be important, if newQueue is restricted for a maximum walltime of 24 hours (and the jobs were scheduled for a longer maximum walltime before).
