Job extension tool

Job extension tool

Users are allowed to prolong their jobs in a limited number of cases.

To do this, use command qextend <full jobID> <additional_walltime>

For example:

(BUSTER)melounova@skirit:~$ qextend 8152779.meta-pbs.metacentrum.cz 01:00:00
The walltime of the job 8152779.meta-pbs.metacentrum.cz has been extended.
Additional walltime:	01:00:00
New walltime:		02:00:00

• You must use full job ID to identify the job correctly (see Beginners_guide#Track_your_job).
• the time format can be either
  • a single number - interpreted as seconds
  • hh:mm:ss - interpreted as hours:minutes:seconds

To prevent abuse of the tool, there is a 30-day quota on how many times can the extend command be applied by a single user AND the total added time. Currently you can within the last 30 days

• extend your jobs 20-times
• use up to 1440 CPU-hours in total to prolong your jobs.

Job prolongations older than 30 days are "forgotten" and no longer occupy your quota.
