💖 oarhold(1) — hold a job in OAR batch scheduler 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the OAR commands corner of the manual, where we learn how to make your jobs just… chill for a sec. this is oarhold, and it's giving "pause button but make it bureaucratic" 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

oarhold — hold a job in OAR batch scheduler. yep that's the whole vibe. it puts your job on ice 🧊

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

oarhold [--array][job_ids][--sql "sql syntax"][-r][-h][-V]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So basically: you ask OAR to not schedule your jobs. that's it, that's the tea ☕. They just sit there, waiting, unbothered, moisturized, in their lane 💅 — until you run the oarresume command. Then they get to go be scheduled like nothing ever happened. no cap.

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -r, --running — the "go big or go home" option. Normally we're only managing Waiting jobs, but with this flag you also manage Running ones. and yes, that means it can suspend the job. lowkey powerful.
  • --array — holding an array job? hold the whole squad. this holds the array job(s) you passed as a parameter — meaning all the sub-jobs of the given array job(s) get held too. no sub-job left behind 🫶
  • --sql — for the girlies who think in queries ✨. this holds the jobs that respond to the SQL where clause on the table jobs. Example incoming, keep it in your notes:
"project = 'p1'"
  • -V, --version — prints the OAR version number. know your version, know your power 💅
  • -h, --help — prints the help command message. when in doubt, -h it out 🎀
