- .SH NAME
- qmove
- \(em move batch jobs
- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .LP
- .nf
- qmove \fIdestination job_identifier\fP...
- .fi
- .SH DESCRIPTION
- To move a batch job is to remove the batch job from the batch queue in
- which it resides and instantiate the batch job in another batch queue.
- A batch job is moved by a request to the batch server that manages the
- batch job. The
- .IR qmove
- utility is a user-accessible batch client that requests the movement of
- one or more batch jobs.
- .P
- The
- .IR qmove
- utility shall move those batch jobs, and only those batch jobs, for
- which a batch
- .IR job_identifier
- is presented to the utility.
- .P
- The
- .IR qmove
- utility shall move batch jobs in the order in which the corresponding
- batch
- .IR job_identifier s
- are presented to the utility.
- .P
- If the
- .IR qmove
- utility fails to process a batch
- .IR job_identifier
- successfully, the utility shall proceed to process the remaining batch
- .IR job_identifier s,
- if any.
- .P
- The
- .IR qmove
- utility shall move batch jobs by sending a
- .IR "Move Job Request"
- to the batch server that manages each batch job. The
- .IR qmove
- utility shall not exit before the batch jobs corresponding to all
- successfully processed batch
- .IR job_identifier s
- have been moved.
- .SH OPTIONS
- None.
- .SH OPERANDS
- The
- .IR qmove
- utility shall accept one operand that conforms to the syntax for a
- destination (see
- .IR "Section 3.3.2" ", " "Destination").
- .P
- The
- .IR qmove
- utility shall accept one or more operands that conform to the syntax
- for a batch
- .IR job_identifier
- (see
- .IR "Section 3.3.1" ", " "Batch Job Identifier").
- .SH STDIN
- Not used.
- .SH "INPUT FILES"
- None.
- .SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES"
- The following environment variables shall affect the execution of
- .IR qmove :
- .IP "\fILANG\fP" 10
- Provide a default value for the internationalization variables that are
- unset or null. (See the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017,
- .IR "Section 8.2" ", " "Internationalization Variables"
- the precedence of internationalization variables used to determine the
- values of locale categories.)
- .IP "\fILC_ALL\fP" 10
- If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of all the
- other internationalization variables.
- .IP "\fILC_CTYPE\fP" 10
- Determine the locale for the interpretation of sequences of bytes of
- text data as characters (for example, single-byte as opposed to
- multi-byte characters in arguments).
- .IP "\fILC_MESSAGES\fP" 10
- .br
- Determine the locale that should be used to affect the format and
- contents of diagnostic messages written to standard error.
- .IP "\fILOGNAME\fP" 10
- Determine the login name of the user.
- .SH "ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS"
- Default.
- .SH STDOUT
- None.
- .SH STDERR
- The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic messages.
- .SH "OUTPUT FILES"
- None.
- .SH "EXTENDED DESCRIPTION"
- None.
- .SH "EXIT STATUS"
- The following exit values shall be returned:
- .IP "\00" 6
- Successful completion.
- .IP >0 6
- An error occurred.
- .SH "CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS"
- In addition to the default behavior, the
- .IR qmove
- utility shall not be required to write a diagnostic message to standard
- error when the error reply received from a batch server indicates that
- the batch
- .IR job_identifier
- does not exist on the server. Whether or not the
- .IR qmove
- utility waits to output the diagnostic message while attempting to
- locate the job on other servers is implementation-defined.
- .LP
- .IR "The following sections are informative."
- .SH "APPLICATION USAGE"
- None.
- .SH EXAMPLES
- None.
- .SH RATIONALE
- The
- .IR qmove
- utility allows users to move jobs between queues.
- .P
- The alternative to using the
- .IR qmove
- utility\(emdeleting the batch job and requeuing it\(ementails
- considerably more typing.
- .P
- Since the means of selecting jobs based on attributes has been
- encapsulated in the
- .IR qselect
- utility, the only option of the
- .IR qmove
- utility concerns authorization. The
- .BR \-u
- option provides the user with the convenience of changing the user
- identifier under which the batch job will execute. Minimalism and
- consistency have taken precedence over convenience; the
- .BR \-u
- option has been deleted because the equivalent capability exists with
- the
- .BR \-u
- option of the
- .IR qalter
- utility.
- .SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS"
- The
- .IR qmove
- utility may be removed in a future version.
