Shell Commands for Submitting Apple Qmaster Jobs
You can use the Apple Qmaster command,
Apple Qmaster
, with a number of
command-line options for submitting jobs.
In the command-line descriptions below, angle brackets < > indicate a mandatory
argument in a command, and brackets [ ] indicate an optional argument.
Synopsis
Below is a synopsis of the command for submitting a job to a cluster. The Apple Qmaster
command is located in /Applications/Apple Qmaster.app/Contents/MacOS/.
Apple Qmaster [-clustername ] [-clusterid
address:port number>][-command -options
[-wd] [-timeout ] [-show] [-batchname ]
[-help]
Once the job is submitted successfully, this command displays the batch ID (identifier)
and job ID (identifier) in the shell.
Command Options
This table provides information about each of the command options for submitting jobs.
Description Submission command option
Use to specify the name of the cluster to which you want to send
the job. Using the cluster name, Apple Qmaster looks for the cluster
on the network in order to use it. -clustername
Use to specify a name for the batch so that you can easily recognize
it in Batch Monitor. -batchname
Optionally, you can use -clusterid to enter the cluster ID and
port number instead of using -clustername . (When you enter
the cluster ID and port, less time is required to find the cluster on
the network.)
Or, if you used -clustername and the cluster requires a password,
use -clusterid to specify the user name and password. (You
need to include the IP address:port number as well whenever
you use -clusterid .)
Use Apple Qmaster -show to see a cluster’s IP address and port
number.
-clusterid
name:password@IP
address:port number>
