Synopsis

qmove destination job_identifier ...

Description

To move a job is to remove the job from the queue in which it  resides and instantiate the job in another queue.  The qmove command issues a Move Job batch request to the batch server that currently owns each job specified by job_identifier.

A job in the Running , Transiting , or Exiting state cannot be moved.

Operands

The first operand is the new destinationfor
    queue
    @server
    queue@server
See the PBS ERS section , "Destination Identifiers".

If the destination operand describes only a queue, then qmove will move jobs into the queue of the specified name at the job's current server.

If the destination operand describes only a batch server, then qmove will move jobs into the default queue at that batch server.

If the destination operand describes both a queue and a batch server, then qmove will move the jobs into the specified queue at the specified server.

All following operands are job_identifiers which specify the jobs to be moved to the new destination. The qmove command accepts one or more job_identifier operands of the form:
    sequence_number[.server_name][@server]

Standard Error

The qmove command will write a diagnostic messages to standard error for each error occurrence.
