qrls [-h hold_list] job_identifier...
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.
The following option shall be supported by the implementation:
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.1-2017, 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:
If any of these characters are duplicated in the hold_list option-argument, the duplicates shall be ignored.
An existing Hold_Types attribute can be cleared by the following hold type:
The qrls utility shall consider it an error if any hold type other than 'n' is combined with hold type 'n'.
Strictly conforming applications shall not repeat any of the characters 'u', 's', 'o', or 'n' within the hold_list option-argument. The qrls utility shall permit the repetition of characters, but shall not assign additional meaning to the repeated characters.
An implementation may define other hold types. The conformance document for an implementation shall describe any additional hold types, how they are specified, their internal behavior, and how they affect the behavior of the utility.
If the -h option is not presented to the qrls utility, the implementation shall remove the USER hold in the Hold_Types attribute.
The following sections are informative.
The qrls utility does not support any job selection options or wildcard arguments. Users may acquire a list of jobs selected by attributes using the qselect utility. For example, a user could select all of their held jobs.
The -h option allows the user to specify the type of hold that is to be removed. This option allows for USER, SYSTEM, OPERATOR, and implementation-defined hold types. The batch server that manages the batch job will verify whether the user is authorized to remove the specified hold for the batch job. If more than one type of hold has been placed on the batch job, a user may wish to remove only some of them.
Mail is not required on release because the administrator has the tools and libraries to build this option if required.
The qrls utility is a new utility vis-a-vis existing practice; it has been defined in this volume of POSIX.1-2017 as the natural complement to the qhold utility.
