Configuring Owners Parameters

To configure owners parameters, click the Owners tab. The Owners tab is shown in the following figure.

You can specify the following parameters:

• Owner List. The list of queue owners.

  Typically, users are set up to be owners of certain queue instances in order to allow them to suspend or disable jobs when they need to. For example, users might occasionally need certain machines for important work, and those machines might be strongly affected by jobs that are running in the background.

  Queue owners can do the following:

  • Suspend. Stop execution of all jobs running in the queue and close the queue

  • Resume. Unsuspend the queue, and then open it

  • Disable. Close the queue, but do not affect running jobs

  • Enable. Open the queue

  Jobs that are suspended explicitly while a queue is suspended are not resumed when the queue is resumed. Explicitly suspended jobs must be resumed explicitly.

  All possible user accounts can be added to the owner list. To delete a user account from the queue owner list, select it, and then click the trash can icon.

See the queue_conf(5) man page for detailed information about these parameters.
