       qdel - delete Grid Engine jobs from queues


       qdel [-f] [-help] [-u wc_user_list] [wc_job_range_list] [-t task_id_range]


       Qdel  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. A manager using a job name or pattern 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.  Qdel deletes jobs in the  order  in  which  their  job  identifiers  are
       presented.   Find  additional  information  concerning  wc_user_list  and  wc_job_list  in


       -f     Force deletion of job(s). The job(s) are deleted from the list of  jobs  registered
              at  sge_qmaster(8) even if the sge_execd(8) controlling the job(s) does not respond
              to the delete request sent by sge_qmaster(8).

              Users who are neither Grid Engine managers nor operators can only use the -f option
              (for their own jobs) if the cluster configuration entry qmaster_params contains the
              flag   ENABLE_FORCED_QDEL   (see   sge_conf(5)).    However,   the   behavior   for
              administrative and non-administrative users differs. Jobs are deleted from the Grid
              Engine database immediately in the case of  administrators.  Otherwise,  a  regular
              deletion  is  attempted  first  and  a  forced cancellation is only executed if the
              regular deletion was unsuccessful.

              Additionally, regular qdel requests can result in a forced deletion  of  a  job  if
              ENABLE_FORCED_QDEL_IF_UNKNOWN is set in the qmaster_params (see sge_conf(5)).

       -help  Prints a listing of all options.

       -t     Deletes  specified  tasks  of  an  array job. It means tasks created by the qsub -t
              command. For example, after creating an array job with the command "qsub  -t  1-100
              $SGE_ROOT/examples/"  it  is  possible  to delete tasks 5-10 from the job
              array with the command "qdel job_id -t 5-10".  All other  tasks  (1-4  and  11-100)
              will be executed.

       -u wc_user_list
              Deletes  only  those  jobs  which  were submitted by users specified in the list of
              usernames.  For managers it is possible to use qdel -u "*" to 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.

       SGE_ROOT       Specifies the location of the Grid Engine standard configuration files.

       SGE_CELL       If set, specifies the default Grid Engine cell. To address  a  Grid  Engine
                      cell qdel 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. default.

                      If set, specifies that debug information should be written  to  stderr.  In
                      addition  the  level  of  detail in which debug information is generated is

                      If set, specifies the tcp port  on  which  sge_qmaster(8)  is  expected  to
                      listen  for communication requests.  Most installations will use a services
                      map entry for the service "sge_qmaster" instead to define that port.
