NAME

       sge_request - Sun Grid Engine default request definition file format

DESCRIPTION

       sge_request reflects the format of the files to define default request profiles. If available, default request files are read and processed
       during job submission before any submit options embedded in the job script and before any options in the qsub(1) or qsh(1) command-line are
       considered.  Thus,  the	command-line  and  embedded script options may overwrite the settings in the default request files (see qsub(1) or
       qsh(1) for details).

       There is a cluster global, a user private and a working directory local default	request  definition  file.  The  working  directory  local
       default request file has the highest precedence and is followed by the user private and then the cluster global default request file.

       Note,  that  the  -clear option to qsub(1) or qsh(1) can be used to discard any previous settings at any time in a default request file, in
       the embedded script flags or in a qsub(1) or qsh(1) command-line option.

       The format of the default request definition files is:

       o  The default request files may contain an arbitrary number of lines.  Blank lines and lines with a '#'  sign  in  the	first  column  are
	  skipped.

       o  Each	line  not  to be skipped may contain any qsub(1) option as described in the Sun Grid Engine Reference Manual. More than one option
	  per line is allowed. The batch script file and argument options to the batch script are not considered as qsub(1) options and  thus  are
	  not allowed in a default request file.

EXAMPLES

       The following is a simple example of a default request definition file:

       =====================================================
       # Default Requests File

       # request group to be sun4 and a CPU-time of 5hr
       -l arch=sun4,s_cpu=5:0:0

       # don't restart the job in case of system crashes
       -r n
       =====================================================

       Having defined a default request definition file like this and submitting a job as follows:

       qsub test.sh

       would have precisely the same effect as if the job was submitted with:

       qsub -l arch=sun4,s_cpu=5:0:0 -r n test.sh
