scontrol: Release a comma-separated list of suspended job.
$ scontrol release ${job_id}
try on your machine

The "scontrol release" command is used to release a job from a pending or held state in a job scheduler or workload manager system. It allows the job to continue running or start running, depending on the system configuration.

In this specific command, "${job_id}" is a placeholder for the actual identifier of the job you want to release. You would replace it with the appropriate job identifier, such as a numeric job ID or a job name.

By executing this command with the appropriate job identifier, you are instructing the job scheduler or workload manager to release the specified job from any pending or held state, allowing it to proceed with its execution.
