NAME¶
sge_request - Grid Engine default request definition file format
DESCRIPTION¶
sge_request reflects the format of the files defining default request
profiles. These apply to and but for convenience, only qsub is mentioned
below. 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 command-line are considered. Thus, the command-line and
embedded script options may overwrite the settings in the default request
files (see for details). However, where options may be repeated and
accumulated, typically they are collected into a list from the various
sources, which may not be what you want.
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 can be used to discard any
previous settings at any time in a default request file, in the embedded
script flags or in a command-line option.
The format of the default request definition files is:
- •
- The default request files may contain an arbitrary number of lines. Blank
lines, and lines with a '#' sign in the first column, are skipped.
- •
- Each line not to be skipped may contain any option. More than one option
per line is allowed. The batch script file and argument options to the
batch script are not considered as 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, 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
