bgdel
deletes job groups
Synopsis
bgdel [-u user_name | -u all] job_group_name | 0
bgdel -c job_group_name
bgdel [-h | -V]
Description
Deletes a job group with the job group name specified by job_group_name and all
its subgroups.
You must provide full group path name for the job group to be deleted. The job
group cannot contain any jobs.
Users can only delete their own job groups. LSF administrators can delete any job
groups.
Job groups can be created explicitly or implicitly:
◆ A job group is created explicitly with the bgadd command.
◆ A job group is created implicitly by the bsub -g or bmod -g command when
the specified group does not exist. Job groups are also created implicitly when
a default job group is configured (DEFAULT_JOBGROUP in
lsb.params or
LSB_DEFAULT_JOBGROUP environment variable).
Options
0 Delete the empty job groups. These groups can be explicit or implicit.
-u user_name Delete empty job groups owned by the specified user. Only administrators can use
this option. These groups can be explicit or implicit. If you specify a job group
name, the
-u option is ignored.
-u all Delete empty job groups and their sub groups for all users. Only administrators can
use this option. These groups can be explicit or implicit. If you specify a job group
name, the
-u option is ignored.
-c job_group_name Delete all the empty groups below the requested job_group_name including the
job_group_name itself. These groups can be explicit or implicit.
job_group_name Full path of the job group name.
-h Prints command usage to stderr and exits.
