TORQUE allows users and administrators to cancel submitted jobs with the qdel command. The job will be sent TERM and KILL signals killing the running processes. When the top-level job script exits, the job will exit. The only parameter is the ID of the job to be canceled.
If a job is canceled by an operator or manager, an email notification will be sent to the user. Operators and managers may add a comment to this email with the -m option.
