Using Job Edit

With the job first selected as the 'current job', hit the "Job Edit" button under the Job Control heading:

This will open the Job Edit window.

Note: In version 102.42 and up, the Job Edit window features a 'tabs' oriented window
though the functions are still the same.

In this screen, you can change the data, and hit 'OK' to make the changes take effect.

What follows are walk-throughs for some specific situations:

Job Edit: Adding Cpus

To add cpus to your job through the Job Edit window, type in the cpu specifications in the 'Add' field, one per line:

Then hit the "OK" button in the lower right-hand corner.

The Jobedit screen will then close, and you will be returned to the main irush screen. Note: If you see this error dialog when hitting 'Done', enable the 'FU' button in the irush screen, then hit 'Done' again.

Hit the "Cpus" buttons under Reports, to view the updated Cpus report.

Job Edit: Removing Cpus

To remove Cpus from your job through the Job Edit window, multiple-select the cpus to be removed and hit the "OK" button in the lower right-hand corner:

Note: If you see this error dialog when hitting 'Done', then follow these instructions to override.

Sorting

With subsequent clicks you can toggle between ascending & descending order.

Changing Priority

To change the priority of any given group of Cpus, enter the new value under Cpu Controls, multiple-select the group, and hit the "Priority" button:

The result:

Defining Hotkeys

1) Open the Hotkeys editor from the irush main menu:

This will bring up the following screen:

2) Hit 'New' to define a new command.
3) Enter the command to run in the 'Command' field
4) Choose a 'Hotkey' function key to assign the command
5) Enter a 'Name' for this command [optional]
6) Hit 'Done'. That's it!

Now, when you're in irush, just hit that function key to invoke your command.

You can set up several commands, one for each function key. Irush will remember them, even when you exit. The commands you define will also appear in the irush 'Hotkeys' menu, so you can invoke them from there too, without using the function key:

By default, your command's output will be sent to the 'lower' gray irush terminal screen, but you can change it to use the 'upper' white irush screen, optionally choosing the controls that will appear to the left, if your commands output in a format similar to one of the rush reports.

Irush On The Command Line

You can optionally supply a jobid on the command line, so irush will use that as the 'current job', e.g.:

irush tahoe.15

You can tell irush to automatically show the "Frames" report for that job as soon as irush opens, using the '-button Frames' option:

irush tahoe.15 -button Frames

By default, irush shows the jobid and job title in 'title bar'. You can override the default by using the '-title' option.. in this case, we force it to show "My Job" in the title bar:

irush tahoe.15 -button Frames -title "My Job"

See 'irush -help' for more info.

Commands such as these will work in both Unix and DOS shells, or invoked from within scripts.

You Are Not The Owner?

This error dialog indicates you are not the owner of the job.

To override this error (if your sysadmin has enabled your permission to do so), enable the Force User ("FU") button in the irush window, then hit 'Done' in the Job Edit window to complete your changes.
