Name

       condor_qedit - modify job attributes

Synopsis

       condor_qedit [ -debug ] [ -n schedd-name ] [ -pool pool-name ] {cluster
       |  cluster.proc  |  owner  |  -constraint  constraint}   attribute-name
       attribute-value ...

Description

       condor_qedit modifies job ClassAd attributes of queued Condor jobs. The
       jobs are specified either by cluster number, job ID,  owner,  or  by  a
       ClassAd  constraint  expression. The attribute-value may be any ClassAd
       expression. String expressions must be surrounded by double quotes.

       To  ensure  security  and  correctness,  condor_qedit  will  not  allow
       modification of the following ClassAd attributes:

          * Owner

          * ClusterId

          * ProcId

          * MyType

          * TargetType

          * JobStatus

       Since  JobStatusmay  not be changed with condor_qedit , 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 JobStatusdirectly.

       If  a  job  is currently running, modified attributes for that job will
       not  affect  the  job  until  it   restarts.   As   an   example,   for
       PeriodicRemoveto  affect  when  a currently running job will be removed
       from the queue, that job must first  be  evicted  from  a  machine  and
       returned to the queue. The same is true for other periodic expressions,
       such as PeriodicHoldand PeriodicRelease.

Options

       -debug

          Causes debugging information to be sent  to  stderr,  based  on  the
          value of the configuration variable TOOL_DEBUG

       -n schedd-name

          Modify job attributes in the queue of the specified schedd

       -pool pool-name

          Modify  job  attributes  in the queue of the schedd specified in the
          specified pool

Examples

       % condor_qedit -name north.cs.wisc.edu -pool  condor.cs.wisc.edu  249.0
       answer 42
       Set attribute "answer".
       % 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

       A job’s ClassAd attributes may be viewed with

         condor_q -long

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.
