qstart(8B)

✨ qstart(8B) ✨

okay so this is the PBS manual page for qstart(8B), and honestly? It’s giving tiny-but-mighty command energy ✨. She starts batch job processing at a destination, and we’re gonna explain every crumb without skipping a single detail 💅.

🌸 NAME 🌸

qstart — start pbs batch job processing at a destination

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

qstart destination ...

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

The qstart command directs that a destination should process batch jobs. That’s the whole vibe 🌀.

If the destination is an execution queue, the server will begin to schedule jobs that reside in the queue for execution. If the destination is a routing queue, the server will begin to route jobs from that queue. Literally her job and she’s slaying it 👑.

In order to execute qstart, the user must have PBS Operation or Manager privilege. No cap, permissions are the moment 🔥.

---

🎀 OPERANDS 🎀

The qstart command accepts one or more destination operands. The operands are one of three forms:

queue
@server
queue@server

• queue — if queue is specified, the request is to start that queue at the default server ✨.
• @server — if the @server form is given, the request is to start all queues at that server 🌈.
• queue@server — if a full destination identifier, queue@server, is given, the request is to start the named queue at the named server 🫶.

---

😭 STANDARD ERROR 😭

The qstart command will write a diagnostic message to standard error for each error occurrence. So if something’s off, she’s gonna whisper-yell the tea into stderr 💀.

---

💀 EXIT STATUS 💀

Upon successful processing of all the operands presented to the qstart command, the exit status will be a value of zero. Slay ✅.

If the qstart command fails to process any operand, the command exits with a value greater than zero. Not slay, but at least you know 😭.
