condor_ qedit

modify job attributes

Synopsis

condor_ qedit [-n schedd-name] {cluster | cluster.proc | owner | -constraint constraint} attribute-name attribute-value ...

Description

condor_ qedit modifies job attributes in the Condor job queue. The jobs are specified either by cluster number, cluster.proc job ID, owner, or by a ClassAd constraint expression. The attribute-value may be any ClassAd expression (integer, floating point number, string, expression).

Options

-n schedd-name
Modify job attributes in the queue of the specified schedd

Examples

% condor_qedit -name perdita 1849.0 In '"myinput"'
Set attribute "In".
% condor_qedit jbasney NiceUser TRUE
Set attribute "NiceUser".
% condor_qedit -constraint 'JobUniverse == 1' Requirements '(Arch == "INTEL") && (OpSys == "SOLARIS26") && (Disk >= ExecutableSize) && (VirtualMemory >= ImageSize)'
Set attribute "Requirements".

General Remarks

You can view the list of attributes with their current values for a job with condor_ q -long.

Strings must be specified with quotes (for example, '"String"').

If a job is currently running, modified attributes for that job will not take effect until the job restarts. For example, attempting to modify PeriodicRemove to affect when a running job will be removed from the queue will not affect the job, unless the job happens to be evicted from a machine and returns to the queue to be run again later. This is also true for other expressions, such as PeriodicHold, PeriodicRelease, and so forth.

condor_ qedit will not allow modification of the following attributes to ensure security and correctness: Owner, ClusterId, ProcId, MyType, TargetType, and JobStatus.

Please use condor_ hold to place a job in the hold state, and use condor_ release to release a held job, instead of attempting to modify JobStatus directly.

Exit Status

condor_ qedit will exit with a status value of 0 (zero) upon success, and it will exit with the value 1 (one) upon failure.
