I wrote a script to basically find jobs in "E" state (grab the job numbers), do qterm -t quick to shutdown the pbs_server but leave jobs running, go to $PBSHOME/server_priv/jobs and remove the job files, and then restart the pbs_server.

The script is clunky (I'm not much of a script writer) but it works. Lemme know if you'd like a copy. Typically we run it by hand whenever we catch E jobs. I'd like, ideally, to have it work out of our monitoring software (Nagios).

Typically if there is a scenario where you need to remove every single job from PBS, how would you do it?

I guess one way is to use xpbs and then go select all and then delete, but that GUI takes forever to load - is there a command line way of doing it?

qdel takes multiple jobid's as arguments, I suppose what I can do is run qstat and pipe the first 'column' to qdel, that probably would work.

However, last night we where having issues with jobs in the E (exiting) state not exiting and none of the above mentioned methods could kill them.

So I ended up going into /var/spool/pbs/server_priv and deleting the jobs dir :)
