NAME¶
nqs2pbs - convert NQS job scripts to PBS
SYNOPSIS¶
nqs2pbs nqs_script [pbs_script]
DESCRIPTION¶
This utility converts a existing NQS job script to work with PBS and NQS. The
existing script is copied and PBS directives,
#PBS , are inserted prior
to each NQS directive
#QSUB or
#@$ , in the original script.
Certain NQS date specification and options are not supported by PBS. A warning
message will be displayed indicating the problem and the line of the script on
which it occurred.
If any unrecognizable NQS directives are encountered, an error message is
displayed. The new PBS script will be deleted if any errors occur.
OPERANDS¶
- nqs_script
- Specifies the file name of the NQS script to convert. This
file is not changed.
- pbs_script
- If specified, it is the name of the new PBS script. If not
specified, the new file name is nqs_script.new .
NOTES¶
Converting NQS date specifications to the PBS form may result in a warning
message and an incompleted converted date. PBS does not support date
specifications of "today", "tomorrow", or the name of the
days of the week such as "Monday". If any of these are encountered
in a script, the PBS specification will contain only the time portion of the
NQS specification, i.e. #PBS -a hhmm[.ss]. It is suggested that you specify
the execution time on the qsub command line rather than in the script.
Note that PBS will interpret a time specification without a date in the
following way:
- -
- If the time specified has not yet been reached, the job
will become eligible to run at that time today.
- -
- If the specified time has already passed when the job is
submitted, the job will become eligible to run at that time tomorrow.
PBS does not support time zone identifiers. All times are taken as local time.
