Bug Passing a variable to #BSUB -n in a LSF file

Hi There!

I'm writing this LSF script to make it easier to send jobs to a cluster when varying certain parameters. At one point I'd like to do something like:

set NPROC = 10

and later on call BSUB using something like:

#BSUB -n $NPROC

unfortunately for me, this throws an error:

Bad argument for option -n. Job not submitted.

Anyone with an idea on how to pass BSUB a variable? With this example it sounds sort of roundabout, but sometimes you want to do some arithmetic with $NPROC before passing it to #BSUB and then being able to do it this way may be something very useful.

Thanks!Smilie

Sorry, I read the post back and I wanted to make sure the problem is clear, this works straight away:

#BSUB -n 10

This doesn't work

set NPROC = 10
#BSUB -n $NPROC

Thanks

CPURC(8)						      System Manager's Manual							  CPURC(8)

NAME
cpurc, termrc - boot script SYNOPSIS
cpurc termrc DESCRIPTION
After the kernel boots, it execs /boot (see root(3)), which in turn execs /$cputype/init. Init(8) sets the $service environment variable to cpu or terminal, and then invokes the appropriate rc script to bring the system up. Based on the values of $sysname and $terminal these scripts start appropriate network processes and administrative daemons and enable swap- ping. Cpurc sets /env/boottime to the time cpurc was executed and /env/NPROC to a value suitable for parallel compilation in mk(1). These files should be edited by local installations to reflect the configuration of their systems. SOURCE
