Maui Scheduler

4.3 Job Management Commands

Maui shares job management tasks with the resource manager. Typically, the scheduler only modifies scheduling relevant aspects of the job such as partition access, job priority, charge account, hold state, etc. The table below covers the available job management commands. The Commands Overview lists all available commands.

Command Flags Description
canceljob cancel existing job
checkjob display job state, resource requirements, environment, constraints, credentials, history, allocated resources, and resource utilization

The Moab Cluster ManagerTM allows administrators to control jobs, nodes, reservations, etc. graphically. Furthermore, a user can view and modify their own job information.
