.TH pbs_deljob 3B "26 August 2011" Local "PBS Professional"
.SH NAME
.B pbs_deljob 
- delete a PBS batch job
.SH SYNOPSIS
#include <pbs_error.h>
.br
#include <pbs_ifl.h>
.sp
.B int pbs_deljob\^(\^int\ connect, char\ *job_id, char\ *extend\^)

.SH DESCRIPTION
Issue a batch request to delete a batch job.
If the batch job is running, the execution server will send the
.B SIGTERM
signal followed by
.B SIGKILL .
.LP
A 
.I "Delete Job"
batch request is generated and sent to the server over the connection
specified by
.I connect 
which is the return value of 
.B pbs_connect().
.LP
The argument,
.I job_id ,
identifies which job is to be deleted.  It is specified in the form:
.br
.RS 4
.I "sequence_number.server"
.RE
.LP
The argument, 
.I extend ,
is overloaded to serve more than one purpose.
If 
.I extend
points to a string other than the above, it is taken as text to be appended
to the message mailed to the job owner.   This mailing occurs if the
job is deleted by a user other than the job owner.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
qdel(1B) and pbs_connect(3B)
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
When the batch request generated by the 
.B pbs_deljob()
function has been completed successfully
by a batch server, the routine will return 0 (zero).
Otherwise, a non zero error is returned.  The error number is also set
in pbs_errno.
