<div dir="ltr">Thanks. I've used qdel -f in the past and it's very useful. <span style="font-size:13.1999998092651px;line-height:19.7999992370605px">Again, sorry for not being more specific</span> -- the issue I'm having is that after I use qdel and can verify the job is no longer in the queue using qstat, the process is still running when I login to the node and do ps -ef. <br><div><br></div><div>It could be that there is some problem with the process that causes it to hang, but I would still expect that doing qdel would kill the process -- I have to login to the nodes and kill them myself. </div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Thu, Jun 18, 2015 at 5:33 PM Jacob Barhak <<a href="mailto:jacob.barhak@gmail.com">jacob.barhak@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><p dir="ltr">Hi David, </p>
<p dir="ltr">There is a qdel force delete option you can run as an administrator to help the situation. Check out the -f option in the qdel man page for details. </p>
<p dir="ltr">However, in some cases there may be issues with qdel. Some reported in this list. If you have dependencies, it may complicate deletion, and I found myself restarting machines to clear out deleted jobs, and deleting specific jobs by number one at a time, especially jobs that depend on many others - those should be deleted first. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Hopefully, this will give you some ideas to try. </p>
