qsub

QSUB(1) 						User Contributed Perl Documentation						   QSUB(1)

NAME

       qsub - submit a batch job in a familiar pbs format

SYNOPSIS

       qsub  [-a date_time]
	     [-A account_string]
	     [-b secs]
	     [-C directive_prefix]
	     [-e path]
	     [-I]
	     [-l resource_list]
	     [-m mail_options] [-M  user_list]
	     [-N name]
	     [-o path]
	     [-p priority]
	     [-q destination]
	     [-W additional_attributes]
	     [-h]
	     [script]

DESCRIPTION

       The qsub command displays information about nodes. It is aimed to be feature-compatible with PBS' qsub.

OPTIONS

       -a  Display information for all nodes. This is the default if no node name is specified.

       -I  Interactive execution.

       -j join
	   It is not necessary (currently also not possible) since stderr/stdout are always joined.

       -v [variable_list]
	   Exporting single variables via -v is not supported, since the entire login environment is exported by the default.

       -V  The -V option to export the current environment is not required since it is done by default.
