QHOLD(1)

👑 QHOLD(1) 👑

okay so bestie, this is the QHOLD(1) page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation crew, and it’s literally all about putting a hold on jobs. No cap, it’s giving “pause that job” energy. 🦋

💖 NAME 💖

qhold — places a hold on jobs in a familiar pbs format. periodt 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

qhold [-h u|o|s|n] job_id...

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

The qhold command requests that a hold be placed on a job. A job that is on hold is not eligible for execution. That part is highkey important, bestie. 🚫🔥

There are three supported holds: USER, OTHER (also known as operator or batch), and SYSTEM. The way that works? Very main character. 👑

If the -h option is not specified, the USER hold will be applied to the specified jobs. iykyk 💖

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -h hold_type — specifies the types of holds to be placed on the job. Yes bestie, we’re specifying hold types and we’re doing it fabulously. 💅

The hold_type argument is one of the characters "u", "o", "s" or "n". The hold type associated with each letter is:

• u — USER 👑
• o — OTHER 🌈
• s — SYSTEM ⭐
• n — None 🙈

• -?, --help — brief help message. cute, quick, helpful 🫶
• --man — full documentation. the whole lore drop, fr fr 📚✨

💀 EXIT STATUS 💀

On success, qhold will exit with a value of zero. Slay. ✅

On failure, qhold will exit with a value greater than zero. Not slay, but at least you know. 😭
