💅 QDEL(1) — the job-deleting queen 👑

okay so real quick bestie, before we even get into it: this page lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the manual, and honestly? she's serving utility. let's go ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

qdel — deletes jobs, and does it in a familiar pbs format 🎀 like, if you know pbs, you already know the vibe. iykyk.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

qdel job_id...

that's it. that's the whole summoning ritual. you hand her some job ids and she handles the rest 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

the qdel command cancels the specified jobs. periodt. you point at the jobs, she cancels them, everybody moves on. no cap, that's literally the entire job description (pun intended 😭).

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

she's lowkey minimal and honestly? iconic for it.

  • -?, --help — prints a brief help message. just a lil snack-sized assist 🫶
  • --man — pulls up the full documentation, aka this exact page you're reading rn. the whole meal 🍓

🌈 EXIT STATUS 🌈

  • on success, qdel exits with a value of zero — slay, everything ate 💖
  • on failure, qdel exits with a value greater than zero — not slay, something went sideways 💀
bestie fr fr: check that exit status. zero means your jobs got cancelled, anything above zero means go read the errors 🙈

and that's the whole page!! no hidden lore, no secret flags, she's a simple queen 👑

~ cute lil sign-off ~ this masterpiece is from perl v5.40.2, dated 2026-10-14, and it's filed under QDEL(1). mwah 💋 🧚‍♀️
