A.1.86 Synopsis
qorder job1_identifier job2_identifier
A.1.87 Description
To order two jobs is to exchange the jobs' positions in the queue(s) in which the jobs reside. The two jobs must be located on the same server. No attribute of the job, such as priority, is changed. The impact of changing the order in the queue(s) is dependent on local job schedule policy. For information about your local job schedule policy, contact your systems administrator.
A job in the running state cannot be reordered.
A.1.88 Operands
Both operands are job_identifiers that specify the jobs to be exchanged. The qorder command accepts two job_identifier operands of the following form:
sequence_number[.server_name][@server]The two jobs must be in the same location, so the server specification for the two jobs must agree.
A.1.89 Standard error
The qorder command will write diagnostic messages to standard error for each error occurrence.
A.1.90 Exit status
Upon successful processing of all the operands presented to the qorder command, the exit status will be a value of zero.
If the qorder command fails to process any operand, the command exits with a value greater than zero.
