Cobalt Tips for GroupsUsers working together are often inconvenienced because the person who submitted a job is the only one who can modify or delete it. However, it is easy to grant another user permission to modify and delete your jobs using the qsub option --run_users. For example, "qsub -t 10 -n 512 --run_users smith:jones myprogram.exe" will allow both Smith and Jones access to the job. This option can be used with any jobs, including those in a reservation. |
