Command Definition F-K
JOB
• Neither $STDIN nor $STDLIST is redirected.
• The JOB command is a first level JOB command (it is not nested within
a second level STREAM command).
If the password is supplied in the command syntax it must be preceded by
a slash (/).
queuename The name of the job queue the job will execute in. The default job queue is
HPSYSJQ, which is a global queue for all jobs not associated with an
individual job queue
groupname Group name to be used for the local file domain and for CPU-time charges,
as established by the account manager. The name must contain from one
to eight alphanumeric characters, beginning with an alphabetic character.
Default is home group if one is assigned. (Required if a home group is not
assigned.)
grouppass Group password, optionally assigned by the account manager. The
password must contain from one to eight alphanumeric characters,
beginning with an alphabetic character. The group password is not needed
when you log on to your home group. It is needed when you log on under
any other group for which a password exists. If a password is needed, but
is not supplied in the command syntax, the STREAM command will prompt
you for it if:
• The STREAM command is invoked from a session.
• Neither $STDIN nor $STDLIST is redirected.
• The JOB command is a first level JOB command (it is not nested within
a second level STREAM command).
If the password is supplied in the command syntax it must be preceded by
a slash (/).
cpusecs Maximum CPU time allowed job, in seconds. When this limit is reached,
the job is aborted. This must be a value from 1 to 32,767. To specify no
limit, enter a question mark or UNLIM, or omit this parameter. Default is a
system-configured job limit.
BS, CS, DS, or ES The execution priority queue that the command interpreter uses for your
session. This is also the default priority for all programs executed within
the session. BS is the highest priority; ES is the lowest. If you specify a
priority that exceeds the highest priority permitted for your account or
user name by the system, MPE/iX assigns the highest priority possible
below BS. DS and ES are intended primarily for batch jobs; their use for
sessions is generally discouraged. DS is the default and the maximum
priority, unless modified by system management.
NOTE Use care in assigning the BS queue. Processes in this priority class can lock
out other processes.
