Unfortunately the -notify has no y/n option, and hence we can't change its setting by `qalter`. There are two similar ways to remove them anyway: 1. Abuse a checkpointing interface to kill it by rescheduling it (must be attached to the queue and requested by job submission). $ qconf -sckpt killer ckpt_name killer interface userdefined ckpt_command none migr_command none restart_command none clean_command none ckpt_dir /tmp signal none when x The running job can be checkpointed by `qmod -sj <job_id>`, this will send a sigkill to the job and reschedule it. While it is waiting again, you can use the usual `qdel` to remove it from the waiting list. (2. but not optimal: Submit the jobs with "-r y" and reschedule them by `qmod -rj <jobn_id>`. While it's waiting again, you can use the `qdel` on the (again) waiting job. But the jobs will continue on the node although they vanished from the job list. There were discussions on the list before, that it will need some time until they really decease operation.) -- Reuti
