<br>
The manpage for version 17.02.9 of 'scontrol' says the following about<br>
the argument for 'hold':<br>
<br>
The job_list argument is a comma separated list of job IDs OR<br>
"jobname=" with the job’s name<br>
<br>
I am trying to put a number of jobs with the job name "g09" on hold.<br>
However, I can't get the syntax right.<br>
<br>
scontrol hold jobname=g09<br>
scontrol hold jobname="g09"<br>
scontrol hold "jobname=g09"<br>
<br>
all give me the error:<br>
<br>
Invalid job id specified for job jobname=g09<br>
slurm_suspend error: Invalid job id specified<br>
<br>
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
