Description Makes the MOM unaware of the job's existence. It does not clean up any processes associated with the job.
Example

momctl - node1 -c 15406
-C — Cycle
Format ---
Default ---
Description Cycle pbs_mom(s)
Example

momctl - node1 -C

Cycle pbs_mom on node1.
-d — Diagnose
Format { <INTEGER> | <JOBID> }
Default 0
Description

Diagnose MOM(s)

(For more details, see Diagnose detail below.)
Example

momctl - node1 -d 2

Print level 2 and lower diagnose information for the MOM on node1.
-f — Host File
Format <FILE>
Default ---
Description A file containing only comma or whitespace (space, tab, or new line) delimited hostnames
Example

momctl -f hosts.txt -d

Print diagnose information for the MOMs running on the hosts specified in hosts.txt.
-h — Host List
Format <HOST>[,<HOST>]...
Default localhost
Description A comma separated list of hosts
Example

momctl -h node1,node2,node3 -d

Print diagnose information for the MOMs running on node1, node2, and node3.
-p — Port
Format <PORT_NUMBER>
Default TORQUE's default port number
Description The port number for the specified MOM(s)
Example

momctl -p 5455 -h node1 -d

Request diagnose information over port 5455 on node1.
-q — Query
Format <ATTRIBUTE>
Default ---
Description Query <ATTRIBUTE> on specified MOM, where <ATTRIBUTE> is a property listed by pbsnodes -a (see Query attributes for a list of attributes)
Example

momctl -q physmem

Print the amount of physmem on localhost.
-r — Reconfigure
Format { <FILE> | LOCAL:<FILE> }
Default ---
Description Reconfigure MOM(s) with remote or local config file, <FILE>. This does not work if $remote_reconfig is not set to true when the MOM is started.
Example

momctl -r /home/user1/new.config -h node1

Reconfigure MOM on node1 with /home/user1/new.cofig on node1.
-s — Shutdown
Format  
Default ---
Description Shutdown pbs_mom
Example

momctl -s

Terminates pbs_mom process on localhost.
