Apple Qmaster 3 - Manual (Page 83)

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>
Specifies the kind of command you are entering: Shell, Shake,
Maya, or other command, depending on the application you want
to use for distributed processing.
-command
Specifies the command with XML code. Enter the XML code after
-options , with the necessary qualifiers for entering it in a shell.
See Example of Shake Command XML , next, for an example.
If no -option is entered, the values from the application’s
preferences file, in ~/Library/Preferences/, are used (which are the
values of the most recent job submitted).
-options
Use to specify the working directory path (from which the command
should be executed). The default working directory is
/Applications/Shake. -wd
Use to specify the number of seconds before Apple Qmaster can
quit when looking for a cluster. The default value is 0, which puts
no limit on the timeout and allows Apple Qmaster to browse the
network for as long as it needs to find the cluster. -timeout
Shows the ID information for the cluster specified with
-clustername or -clusterid , or for all clusters if no cluster is
specified.
-show
Displays information about supported options for Apple Qmaster . -help
