pbs(8B)

πŸ“¦ version 23.06.06-unstable-2026-04, in nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

πŸŽ€ NAME πŸŽ€

hey bestie, welcome to pbs(8B) β€” the PBS Professional page for the pbs command. it starts, stops, restarts, or gets the PIDs of PBS daemons. that’s the whole assignment πŸ’…


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

pbs [start|stop|restart|status]

πŸ’… DESCRIPTION πŸ’…

okay so pbs starts, stops, or restarts all PBS daemons on the local machine, or reports the PIDs of all daemons when you give it the status argument. it does not affect other hosts, periodt. πŸ›‘βœ¨

you can also start, stop, restart, or status the PBS daemons using the systemctl command.

🌸 Caveats 🌸

this command operates only on daemons that are marked as active in pbs.conf. for example, if PBS_START_MOM is set to 0 in the local pbs.conf, this command will not operate on pbs_mom, and will not start, stop, or restart pbs_mom. lowkey important, bestie πŸ‘€

this command is typically placed in /etc/init.d so that PBS starts up automatically.

πŸ‘‘ Required Privilege πŸ‘‘

Root privilege is required to use this command. no cap, you need the root crown for this one πŸ‘‘πŸ’–
