[SOLVED] How to change the queue name of all the scheduled jobs in Linux?

achakradhare · 04-10-2012, 08:00 AM

I have an application where jobs are fired sequentially with a set priority. Now it is fired and I am in midway. Still there are lot of jobs which are pending and are queued up. Now I want to change the queue name of all the scheduled jobs to the queue which is not loaded much (I know which one to load). Doing bmod -q <queue_name> <job_id> is not possible as there are hundreds of jobs in line.
Can anyone suggest me a quick way to do this? I tried with something like this:

bjobs | cut -d' ' -f1 | sed '1d' | xargs bmod -q high

But this is not working. Any suggestions?

When you say "not working" exactly what is happening?

It may be you need to do a for loop rather than piping into xargs:

Code:

for job in $(bjobs | cut -d' ' -f1 | sed '1d')
do bmod -q high $job
done

I'm not familiar with bmod so am not sure if your command syntax is correct. What happens if you pick a single job and run the bmod -q high on it?
