cosmosim-deletejobs.sh

#!/bin/bash
#
# Remove own jobs from CosmoSim, based on jobids in given file.
# If you don't have the jobids, get a list of all jobs by running
#    http --auth $username:$password --print b GET http://www.cosmosim.org/uws/query
# Also consider using the uws-client (https://github.com/adrpar/uws-client) for this. 
# The astroquery.cosmosim-package (https://github.com/agroener/astroquery) also has nice 
# features for deleting.
#
# Note: if running jobs get a 'delete' signal, they will only be stopped.
