How to submit a job

NOTE: You must have /usr/pbs/bin in your PATH list!

To submit the previous script to PBS, you should use the qsub command. For instance, if the script were called run_job you would submit it using qsub -q queue run_job where queue specifies the submission queue. Valid queue names are:

  • long - Has a wall time limit of 4 weeks. This contains compute nodes 1 - 10.
  • reg - Has a wall time limit of 1 week. This contains compute nodes 11 - 60.
  • Forthcoming will be a seperate queue for the Opterons to handle parallel execution.
Upon successful submission, PBS prints out the job ID assigned to the job. For more info see the man page for qsub.

Once the job completes, PBS creates two files, <pbs_script_name>.o<job_id> and <pbs_script_name>.e<job_id>, for standard output and error messages from the PBS script you used to run the job.
