5.Stop using a node — allows you to remove a node from the list so that no job runs on that node.

If you select Stop using a node, you must also select from the following options. Which node do you wish to stop using?

1.jupiter

2.mars

3.mercury

Enter number identifying the node.(<CR> to ignore)

Enter the number identifying the node. If you enter a legal number, you are asked to make a selection from this menu.

Do you wish to

1.Terminate the current job immediately and resubmit.

2.Allow the job to finish.

Enter number identifying choice. (<CR> to ignore)

The options are described as follows:

a.Terminate the current job immediately and resubmit—halts the job immediately and sets it up again to be run on the next available node. The halted node is not used again unless it is enabled by the add function.

b.Allow the job to finish—finishes the node’s current job, then disables the node from running additional jobs.

Note: The list of nodes described above is not necessarily numbered in a linear fashion.

Nodes that are disabled are not displayed. For example, if NODE2 is disabled, the next time

Stop using a node is opted, the following is displayed.

Which node do you wish to stop using?

1.jupiter

3.mercury

Enter number identifying the node. (<CR> to ignore)

6.Display current status — displays the current status of the Turns Engine. It shows the state of nodes and the respective jobs. Here is a sample of what you would see if you chose this option.

ID	NODE	STATUS	JOB	TIME
1.	jupiter	Job Running	high_high_10	02:30:45
2.	mars	Job Running	high_high_11	02:28:03
3.	mercury	Not Available
4.	neptune	Pending Term	high_high_12	02:20:01
