NAME
     miser_move - move a block of resources from one queue to another

SYNOPSIS
     miser_move  -s srcq  -d destq -o s=start,e=end,c=CPUs,m=mem

     miser_move  -s srcq  -d destq  -f file

DESCRIPTION
      The miser_move command removes a tuple of space from the source queue's
     vector and adds it to the destination queue's vector beginning at the
     start time and ending at the end time.  The resources added or removed do
     not change the vector definition and are, therefore, temporary.

     The command returns a table that lists the start and end times of each
     resource transfer and the amount of resources transfered.

OPTIONS
     -s srcq
          Srcq is the name of any valid miser queue. This queue may be the
          system queue.

     -d destq
          Destq is the name of any valid miser queue. This queue may be the
          system queue.

      -o s=start,e=end,c=cpus,m=mem
          This option specifies a block of resources to be moved.  The start
          and end times are relative to the current time (for valid times, see
          miser_submit(1)). The CPUs are an integer up to the maximum free
          CPUs associated with a queue. The memory is an integer with an
          identifier (g, m, or k representing gigabyte, megabyte, and
          kilobyte, respectively) to indicate the amount of memory to be
          transfered. If no unit is provided with the memory field then the
          memory value is assumed to be bytes.

     -ffile
          File contains a resource block specification (see miser_move(4)) for
          a definition).

Bugs
     The transfer is temporary. If miser is killed or crashes then the
     resources transfered are lost, and miser will be unable to restart.
