SYNTAX


qb all [nolist|list] [l|lf] | [l|lf] QUEUE [QUEUE ... ]
parallel
private
single
fda

all :: a special token to list all the 'par' queues
parallel :: a special token to list only parallel queues
single :: a special token to list only the single host queues
medium :: list queues best for "medium" sized jobs
large :: list designated queues for really large jobs
private :: a special token to list only the 'private' queues
fda :: a special token to list all the 'fda' queues
nolist :: suppress listing of queue entries (processes only)
l,lf :: long or long,full listing (default is full)

QUEUE :: the name of a batch queue; prompted for if not supplied
l :: long listing, showing memory usage (SZ; 4K chunks)
lf :: long, full listing, showing memory usage, userid, full command

SYNOPSIS


If no arguments are supplied, queue name(s) are prompted for, and the special tokens (all, parallel, etc.) are not valid in response to the prompt. The queue name(s) are validated against the list of queues maintained in /batch/batch_queues, and 'qb' skips to the next queue name or exits if the queue is not defined. Multiple queue names may be entered either as arguments or in response to the prompt; the optional flags "l" or "lf" will change the listing format for active queue processes. The command lists the status (ps -f) of any active jobs, and all processes belonging to the userid owning the active batch job for each queue name supplied, or all queues for the "all" token. To reduce extraneous processes from interactive sessions, programs such as xterm, csh, hpterm, dmx, and vuewm are excluded explicitly from the process listing. The contents of each 'queue.txt' file are also listed, but can be suppressed for the special tokens via the keyword "nolist". Note that the options following a special token are positional; to override the default "full" listing of processes, one of the list/nolist keywords must be used ('qb single l' is not valid; 'qb single nolist l' is okay).

% qb par0 par11 par4
