The end user can perform many tasks more efficiently and faster using the graphical user interface (GUI) but there are certain tasks that end users cannot perform unless they have the proper authority. If you are defined as a LoadLeveler administrator in the LoadLeveler configuration file then you are immediately granted administrative authority and can perform the administrative tasks discussed in this section. To find out how to grant someone administrative authority, see Step 1: Define LoadLeveler administrators.
You can access LoadLeveler administrative commands using the Admin pull-down menu on both the Jobs window and the Machines window of the GUI. The Admin pull-down menu on the Jobs window corresponds to the command options available in the llhold, llfavoruser, and llfavorjob commands. The Admin pull-down menu on the Machines window corresponds to the command options available in the llctl command.
The main window of the GUI, as shown in Figure 10, has three sub-windows: one for job status with pull-down menus for job-related commands, one for machine status with pull-down menus for machine-related commands, and one for messages and logs. There are a variety of facilities available that allow you to sort and select the items displayed.
