qdel - delete pbs batch job
qdel [-W delay] job_identifier
...
The qdel command deletes jobs in the order in which their
job identifiers are presented to the command. A job is deleted by sending
a Delete Job batch request to the batch server that owns the job. A job
that has been deleted is no longer subject to management by batch services.
A batch job may be deleted by its owner, the batch operator, or the batch
administrator.
A batch job being deleted by a server will be sent a SIGTERM
signal following by a SIGKILL signal. The time delay between the two
signals is an attribute of the execution queue from which the job was
run (settable by the administrator). This delay may be overridden by the
option.
See the PBS ERS section 3.1.3.3, "Delete Job Request", for more information.
- -W delay
- Specify the delay between the sending of the SIGTERM
and SIGKILL signals. The argument specifies a unsigned integer number
of seconds.

the form:

messages to standard error for each error occurrence.

successful processing of all the operands presented to the the qdel command,
the exit status will be a value of zero.

any operand, the command exits with a value greater than zero.
