qrls — release batch jobsSYNOPSIS
qrls [−h hold_list] job_identifier...
DESCRIPTION
A batch job might have one or more holds, which prevent the batch job from executing. A batch job from which all the holds have been removed becomes eligible for execution and is said to have been released. A batch job hold is removed by sending a request to the batch server that manages the batch job. The qrls utility is a user-accessible client of batch services that requests holds be removed from one or more batch jobs. The qrls utility shall remove one or more holds from those batch jobs for which a batch job_identifier is presented to the utility. The qrls utility shall remove holds from batch jobs in the order in which their batch job_identifiers are presented to the utility. If the qrls utility fails to process a batch job_identifier successfully, the utility shall proceed to process the remaining batch job_identifiers, if any. The qrls utility shall remove holds on each batch job by sending a Release Job Request to the batch server that manages the batch job. The qrls utility shall not exit until the holds have been removed from the batch job corresponding to each successfully processed batch job_identifier.OPTIONS
The qrls utility shall conform to the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1‐2008, Section 12.2, Utility Syntax Guidelines. The following option shall be supported by the implementation:- −h hold_list
- Define the types of holds to be removed from the batch job.
The qrls −h option shall accept a value for the hold_list option-argument that is a string of alphanumeric characters in the portable character set (see the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1‐2008, Section 6.1, Portable Character Set).
The qrls utility shall accept a value for the hold_list option-argument that is a string of one or more of the characters 'u', 's', or 'o', or the single character 'n'.
For each unique character in the hold_list option-argument, the qrls utility shall add a value to the Hold_Types attribute of the batch job as follows, each representing a different hold type:
- u
- USER
- s
- SYSTEM
- o
- OPERATOR
- n
- NO_HOLD
OPERANDS
The qrls utility shall accept one or more operands that conform to the syntax for a batch job_identifier (see Section 3.3.1, Batch Job Identifier).STDIN

None.ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables shall affect the execution of qrls:- LANG
- Provide a default value for the internationalization variables that are unset or null. (See the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1‐2008, Section 8.2, Internationalization Variables the precedence of internationalization variables used to determine the values of locale categories.)
- LC_ALL
- If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of all the other internationalization variables.
- LC_CTYPE
- Determine the locale for the interpretation of sequences of bytes of text data as characters (for example, single-byte as opposed to multi-byte characters in arguments).
- LC_MESSAGES
-
- LOGNAME
- Determine the login name of the user.
