------------------------


qalter only allows to specify a list of job id's (or all job of (a) user(s))

A flexible job selection critera, like it is partially available for "qstat"
could help to improve this. A "qjselect" command line utility could be provided
as a general purpose tool

The flexible selection also could be available for other commands, like
qalter/qdel/qmod.

The "-masterq" switch for parallel jobs also should be more flexible and allow a
flexible resource request syntax.

Ideally this selection could be handled by qmaster - this would it make easier
to remove complexity from the client commands (GUI, CLI, API clients)
