How to modify queue configuration from the command line

You can usually administer the SGE through qmon. The problem is that you do not always have acces to X, and when you do have acces, you require special fonts.

For changing queue configurations from the command line, SGE gives you two posibilities: commands that run  a native editor and you cand edit them through a console and commands that take the modifications from a file.

For example we wish to modify the ibm-quad queue and eliminate the cpu limitations.

[heri@batch ~]$ qconf -mq ibm-quad
