Irush is a job control and monitoring tool. You supply irush a jobid to control,
and its interface will let you manipulate that job easily. An important thing
to remember is: the Jobid in the upper right corner of the irush screen is
the current job being controlled.
By default, the Jobid is empty; you can either type in
the jobid, pick it from a list of jobs,
or invoke irush with the jobid on the command line.
The jobid affects most all buttons in the upper part of the window. There is a black
border grouping these buttons together to indicate this association:
For instance, hitting 'Frames' or 'Cpus' (in the upper window)
will list the frames or cpus for the current jobid. Same for 'Pause', 'Dump',
and 'Job Edit' buttons in that button grouping.
The large, lower window is where reports are displayed. You can highlight data
from these reports using the mouse, and use the controls to affect the items
you selected. The large window and the controls are also grouped with a
black border to indicate this association:
...this example shows a frame list with several frames highlighted.
Hitting any of the controls to the left will affect the highlighted frames.
The controls change, depending on the report being displayed:
The controls are empty if the data being displayed in the window
is not recognized by irush, such as occurs if you hit the CMD button to
get a directory listing.

Here are examples of each technique:
With a jobid set, the buttons in the upper window will affect this job.
For instance, hit 'Frames' to see the job's frame list.
The frame list shows the status of each frame, the hostname it ran on, and
the start time and elapsed time for each frame. Each time you hit the
Frames button, you'll get an updated report. Use the Repeat
button to have the report automatically update.
With a frame report on screen, you can select certain frames, then
use the frame controls (that appear to the left of the report)
to modify the frames. For instance, you can requeue frames with the 'Que' button.
To select all frames in a particluar state, you can use the
Select All... pulldown menu.
