## NAME

| qstart - start pbs batch job processing at a destination

## SYNOPSIS

| qstart destination ...

## DESCRIPTION

| The qstart command directs that a destination should process batch jobs. If the destination is an execution queue, the server will begin to schedule jobs that reside in the queue for execution. If the destination is a routing queue, the server will begin to route jobs from that queue.

| In order to execute qstart, the user must have PBS Operation or Manager privilege.

## OPERANDS

| The qstart command accepts one or more destination operands. The operands are one of three forms:

| queue @server queue@server

| If queue is specified, the request is to start that queue at the default server. If the @server form is given, the request is to start all queues at that server. If a full destination identifier, queue@server, is given, the request is to start the named queue at the named server.

## STANDARD ERROR

| The qstart command will write a diagnostic message to standard error for each error occurrence.

## EXIT STATUS

| Upon successful processing of all the operands presented to the qstart command, the exit status will be a value of zero.

| If the qstart command fails to process any operand, the command exits with a value greater than zero.
