Writing a script to work sequentially with bsub
Hi,
I am REALLY a newbie of Unix: hope this question is not too odd.
Here is my problem:
I have to submit jobs to a remote platform (an IBM BCX/5120).
To submit I have to
bsub < filename.jcf
and the .jcf file has usually the following content:

#!/bin/bash

#BSUB <commands of the bsub>
/usr/local/stata/stata -b //stata is StataMP for statistical analysis

Unfortunately, each job cannot last more than 6 hours (usually each last around 4 hours), and I would love to make them start sequentially:
any idea about how could I do it?

If you can help me, you'll save my sleep: I won't wake up every 6 hours in order to make the jobs work.
Moreover, since the weekend is approaching and my girlfriend would get pretty angry if I don't dedicate her enough time during the following 3 days, you'll probably save even my relationship!

Thank you very much,
f

NAME

       script - make record of a terminal session

SYNOPSIS

       script [-a] [filename]

DESCRIPTION

       The  script  utility  makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the
       record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.

       The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
       when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.

OPTIONS

       The following option is supported:

       -a    Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.

NOTES

       script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

WARNINGS

       script  can  pose  a  security risk when used in directories that are writable by other users (for example, /tmp), especially when run by a
       privileged user, that is, root. Be sure that typescript is not a link before running script.
