Re: [HTCondor-users] how to change requested memory (cpus) for running job

[Harald van Pee <pee@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jason,

yes its condor_qedit not qalter. qalter works for pbs/torque even 
for a running job, condor_qedit just change RequestMemory but does not
change any reservation for a running job.
