Guide to CluedØ batch system

• qstat - show status of batch jobs ( qstat -n   to show node, where jobs are running)
• qsig - signal batch job, syntax : qsig -s signal   jobid
• qdel - delete batch job, syntax : qdel   jobid
• qsub - submit job, for syntax see PBS manual

• Use command cluesow to submit your job, syntax : cluesow  scriptname
• You have to set your job CPU and memory resources (this will determine batch queue for submitted job), it can be done in 2 ways :
  
  
  1. using -l option of cluesow command :

       cluesow  -l cput=03:00:00  -l mem=256mb  scriptname      : you requested 3 hours of CPU and 256 MB of memory

  2. directly in your script :

       #!/bin/sh
       #CLUED0 -l cput=03:00:00
       #CLUED0 -l mem=256mb
     
        ....script commands...

• You have to provide a shell script, which defines working directory (use /usr/local/etc/pbssetup.sh or *.csh), moves all needed files to working directory, runs job executable and transfers job output back to your area (working directory will be cleaned after your job termination). For such a shell script example click here.
• You can specify a node, where you want to run your job. Not necessary !!! Again 2 ways how to do it :
  
  
  1. using -l option of cluesow command :

      cluesow -l nodes=samson-clued0 scriptname  : you sent this job to samson-clued0

  2. in script :

       #!/bin/sh
       #CLUED0 -l nodes=samson-clued0
