π pbs_rdel β the manual, bestie (PBS Professional, pbs_rdel(1B)) π
okay so real talk: this is the manual page for pbs_rdel(1B) in PBS Professional, and honestly? it's giving "short but iconic." let's get into it π
β¨ NAME β¨
pbs_rdel β delete a PBS reservation. that's it. that's the whole vibe. literally the reservation deleter. no cap π
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
pbs_rdel <reservation ID>[,<reservation ID>...]
pbs_rdel --version
β¨ DESCRIPTION β¨
okay so the pbs_rdel command deletes reservations in the order specified. like, it respects the queue of it all. periodt π
this command deletes the specified reservations, whether or not they are running, all jobs in the reservations, and the reservation queues. yes bestie, ALL of it. the reservation, the jobs inside, the queues β it's a whole cleanup moment π¦
π Required Privilege π
a reservation may be deleted by its owner, a PBS Operator, or a PBS Manager. so like, know your role before you come for that reservation, iykyk π₯
β¨ OPTIONS β¨
--versionβ thepbs_rdelcommand returns its PBS version information and exits. This option can only be used alone. like, it's a solo main character, don't try to pair it with anything else bestie π
β¨ OPERANDS β¨
the pbs_rdel command accepts one or more reservation ID operands. one or more! you can absolutely serve multiple reservations at once π
for an advance or job-specific reservation this has the form:
R<sequence number>[.<server name>][@<remote server>]
for a standing reservation this has the form:
S<sequence number>[.<server name>][@<remote server>]
for a maintenance reservation this has the form:
M<sequence number>[.<server name>][@<remote server>]
@<remote server> specifies a reservation at a server other than the default server. so if you're deleting somewhere else, you gotta say so. don't be shy about it πΈ
β¨ EXIT STATUS β¨
- Zero β upon success. slay! it worked, we love that for you π
- Greater than zero β upon failure to process any operand. and that's on something not processing. sad but true π
