Description 

-D logfile

Sends debugging output to the indicated logfile, instead of including this information with the standard output.

-q[!]Qsubstr

Specifies the processing of quarantined jobs that have this substr, which is a substring of the quarantine reason. See the description of the -Qreason option. If ! is added, this option processes quarantined jobs that do not have this substr.

-Qreason

Quarantines a normal queue item with this reason. If no reason is given, the quarantined queue item is unquarantined. This option works with the -q[!]Qsubstr option. The substr is a portion (or substring) of the reason.
