hold,release

The hold and release commands change the status of a farm node, a farm queue, or a farm job/section. If not specified, the command will operate on node. The format of the hold command is:

  fbs hold node [-r '<reason>'] <node> ...
  fbs hold queue <queue> ...
  fbs hold (job|section) [-t <time>] (<jobid>|<sectionid>) ...

The format of the release command is:

  fbs release node <node> ...
  fbs release queue <queue> ...
  fbs release (job|section) (<jobid>|<sectionid>) ...

The -r flag is only valid when holding a node. -t is ignored when releasing a queue or node. When releasing a job, the -t is not valid. If holding/releasing a job or section, a time can be specified when to perform the action. Refer to section 3.2.8 for a detailed explanation of time_str

• mm/dd/yyyy-hh:mm:ss for specifying an exact time.
• +dd-hh:mm:ss for specifying relative times.
