Can I change a the PBS script file of a job that is on hold in TORQUE Resource Manager?

Question

I have a couple of jobs in the locked jobs queue with the status UserHold. Is there a way to edit the PBS file that launched them? I used qalter before to change the walltime, group or name. This time I want to change the parameters of the aprun call in the submitted PBS file.

Answer 1

Typically speaking you shouldn't do this. The correct procedure would be to delete your job and submit a new one with the new job script.
