Command Options

batches.
Description Monitoring command option
Use to specify the name of the cluster to which the job was sent. -clustername <name>
User password for the cluster specified by ID or name. -password <value>
Optionally, you can use -clusterid to enter the cluster ID and
port number instead of using -clustername .
Or, if you used -clustername and the cluster requires a password,
use -clusterid to specify the user name and password. (You
need to include the IP address:port number as well whenever
you use -clusterid .)
Use Apple Qmaster -show or Compressor -show to see a
cluster’s IP address and port number.
-clusterid <user
name:password@IP
address:port number>
