int pbs_movejob(int connect, char *job_id, char *destination, 
char *extend)

Issue a batch request to move a job to a new destination. The job is removed from the present queue and instantiated in a new queue.

A Move Job batch request is generated and sent to the server over the connection specified by connect which is the return value of pbs_connect().

The job_id parameter identifies which job is to be moved; it is specified in the form: sequence_number.server

The destination parameter specifies the new destination for the job.  It is specified as: [queue][@server]. If destination is a null pointer or a null string, the destination will be the default queue at the current server.  If destination specifies a queue but not a server, the destination will be the named queue at the current server.  If destination specifies a server but not a queue, the destination will be the default queue at the named server.  If destination specifies both a queue and a server, the destination is that queue at that  server.

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

The parameter, extend, is reserved for implementation defined extensions.

qmove(1B), qsub(1B), and pbs_connect(3B)

When the batch request generated by pbs_movejob() function has been completed successfully by a batch server, the routine will return 0 (zero). Otherwise, a non zero error is returned.  The error number is also set in pbs_errno.
