# sge\_project(5)

Grid Engine project entry file format

## NAME

project - Grid Engine project entry file format

## DESCRIPTION

Jobs can be submitted to projects, and a project can be assigned with a certain level of importance, via the functional or the override policy. This level of importance is then inherited by the jobs executing under that project.

A list of currently configured projects can be displayed via the [*qconf*(1)](/qconf/1.md) **-sprjl** option. The contents of each listed project definition can be shown via the **-sprj** switch. The output follows the *project* format description. New projects can be created, and existing ones can be modified, via the **-aprj**, **-mprj** and **-dprj** options to [*qconf*(1)](/qconf/1.md).

Note, Grid Engine allows backslashes (\\) be used to escape newline characters. The backslash and the newline are replaced with a space character before any interpretation.

## FORMAT

A project definition contains the following parameters:

### name

The project name in the format for *project\_name* in [*sge\_types*(5)](/sge_types/5.md).

### oticket

The number of override tickets currently assigned to the project.

### fshare

The current functional share of the project.

### acl

A list of user access lists (ACLs - see *access\_list*(5)) referring to those users allowed to submit jobs to the project.

If the **acl** parameter is set to NONE, all users are allowed to submit jobs to the project except for those listed in the **xacl** parameter described below.

### xacl

A list of user access lists (ACLs - see *access\_list*(5)) referring to those users not allowed to submit jobs to the project.
