Usage Examples

pingd assumes the most restrictive interpretation when nodes are specified. If you provide a list of node numbers, a job ID, and specify -mine, pingd will perform the operation on the nodes in the list which are running the job specified, if you own it.

To list the current status of all nodes in the compute partition:

    pingd

To list the status most recently reported to the service partition of all nodes in the compute partition (without going out and querying the compute partition):

    pingd -fast

To kill the PCT on node 20:

    pingd -kill -l 20

To reset the PCTs on nodes 0 through 100 which are running my jobs:

    pingd -reset -l 0..100 -mine

To display much status information about my jobs:

    pingd -m -v

To inform the bebopd that the PCTs on nodes 55, 56, 57 and 61 are dead:

    pingd -gone -l 55..57,61
