Here's the meaning of useful parameters that we can add in the header of our job scripts. You can either add them on the header of a script or directly in the qsub command.
#$ -N NAME = Names our job in the cluster as specified in NAME #$ -q QUEUE = Automatically sends our job to the specified queue in QUEUE, so we don't need to specify it in the qsub command. #$ -M EMAIL = Sends notifications of the job status to the specified address in EMAIL, according to criteria below. #$ -m beas = Send you email of job status (b)egin, (e)rror, (a)bort, (s)suspend. #$ -e DIRNAME = redirects error logs to DIRNAME. Default is home directory #$ -o DIRNAME = redirects standard output to DIRNAME. Default is home directory. #$ -l hostname=HNAME = forces queue to submit job in the specified HNAME (cronus, rhea, etc...).
Sample header for hello_world.sh:
#!/bin/bash # #$ -N hello_world #$ -M someaddress@uci.edu #$ -m beas #$ -q ttn.q echo "hello world"
Another way to do it is by removing the #$ parameters of the header and run:
qsub -N hello_world -M someaddress@uci.edu -m beas -q ttn.q hello_world.sh
SGE automatically creates 2 log files in the default/specified folder, JOBNAME.eJOBID and JOBNAME.oJOBID. 'e' is for error messages and 'o' is for standard output.
