Setting kill_delay in OpenPBS

Users/Site Administrators

I’m attempting to set the kill_delay attribute in PBS 22.05.11 using:

qmgr -c "set server kill_delay = 60"

However, I receive the response:

qmgr obj= svr=default: Undefined attribute
qmgr: Error (15002) returned from server

I see kill_delay referenced multiple times in this forum so I assume it’s available, but I can’t seem to understand what I’m doing wrong. Is this available in OpenPBS, and do I need to do something special to set it?

I see it in the PBS Pro Admin Manual at section 10.8:

It appears kill_delay is an attribute of a queue, not the server as a whole.

You’re right… and it’s right there in the documentation too:

The amount of time is specified in the kill_delay queue attribute.
