Job manager tool


Up: Tools Next: MPD process launcher Previous: Runtime environment variable options

The job manager tool allows a user to see the jobs that have been or are currently running (if job logging has been enabled using the configure tool). This is an in memory database that is lost if the machine is rebooted or the mpd that hosts the data is restarted. There is a gui and command line version of the tool.

mpijob jobid [-full] [jobhost] 
mpijob -killjob jobid [jobhost] 
mpijob -clear [all, before timestamp, or jobid] [jobhost]
