Synopsis

diet-cancel [--config diet_config_file] --host machine [-h] [--help] jobID

Description

diet-cancel uses the configuration file diet_config_file defined with the --config option to be able to get information about the machine defined with the --host option. If the --config option is not set, diet-cancel will use $HOME/.diet/client.cfg. If this file does not exist, the path to the client configuration file could also be defined with the DIET_CLIENT_CONFIG environment variable.

Once diet-cancel is configured, a job can be cancelled.

[--config diet_config_file]
Configuration file used by diet-cancel to be able to cancel a job with its jobID on machine. This option can be omitted. In that case we fall back to the default configuration file $HOME/.diet/client.cfg. The configuration file path could also be defined through a environment variable : DIET_CLIENT_CONFIG.
--host machine
Name of the machine where we want to cancel a job.
