Notes on Torque

Special usage notes

To change, e.g., the total cpu time allotted to a given job, one can use

 qalter -l cput=[new_cput] [job_id]

where [new_cput] is the desired amount of cpu time and [job_id] is the job's ID number. Multiple jobs can be changed simultaneously by using `seq [min_job_id] [max_job_id]` in the place of job_id. This will change all jobs [min_job_id] through [max_job_id]. Note that only root can increase cput with this method.
