To configure execution hosts from the command line, use the following arguments for the qconf command:
The -ae option (add execution host) displays an editor containing an execution host configuration template. The editor is either the default vi editor or an editor corresponding to the EDITOR environment variable. If you specify exec-host, which is the name of an already configured execution host, the configuration of this execution host is used as a template. The execution host is configured by changing the template and saving to disk. See the host_conf(5) man page for a detailed description of the template entries to be changed.
The -de option (delete execution host) deletes the specified host from the list of execution hosts. All entries in the execution host configuration are lost.
The -me option (modify execution host) displays an editor containing the configuration of the specified execution host as template. The editor is either the default vi editor or an editor corresponding to the EDITOR environment variable. The execution host configuration is modified by changing the template and saving to disk. See the host_conf(5) man page for a detailed description of the template entries to be changed.
The -Me option (modify execution host) uses the content of filename as execution host configuration template. The configuration in the specified file must refer to an existing execution host. The configuration of this execution host is replaced by the file content. This qconf option is useful for changing the configuration of offline execution hosts, for example, in cron jobs, as the -Me option requires no manual interaction.
The -se option (show execution host) shows the configuration of the specified execution host as defined in host_conf.
The -sel option (show execution host list) displays a list of hosts that are configured as execution hosts.
