llfavoruser - Reorder System Queue by User

Purpose

Sets a user's job(s) to the highest priority in the system, regardless of the current setting of the job priority. Jobs already running are not affected. This command also unfavors the user's job(s), restoring the original priority, when you specify the -u flag.

Syntax

llfavoruser [-?] [-H] [-v] [-q] [-u] userlist

Flags

-?

Provides a short usage message.

-H

Provides extended help information.

-v

Outputs the name of the command, release number, service level, service level date, and operating system used to build the command.

-q

Specifies quiet mode: print no messages other than error messages.

-u

Unfavors previously favored users, reordering their job(s) according to their original priority level(s). If -u is not specified, the user's job(s) are favored.

userlist

Is a blank-delimited list of users whose jobs are given the highest priority. If -u is specified, userlist jobs are unfavored.

Description

This command affects your current and future jobs until you remove the favor.

When the central manager daemon is restarted, any favor applied to users is revoked.

The user's jobs still remain ordered by user priority (which may cause jobs for the user to swap sysprio). If more than one user is affected by this command, the jobs of favored users are ordered by sysprio and are scanned before the jobs of not favored users. However, jobs of favored users which do not match job requirements with available machines may run after jobs of not favored users.

Examples

This example grants highest priority to all queued jobs submitted by users ellen and fred according to the sysprio expression:

llfavoruser ellen fred

This example unfavors all queued jobs submitted by users ellen and fred:

llfavoruser -u ellen fred
