Is there any tool to help me setup syntactically correct qsub
command?
Yes, there exists an online tool qsub assembler.
Basically it is a form with a drop-down menu for every PBS resource type.
The only thing you need to do is to setup the value of selected resource(s) and click on the "Find machines" button.
As a result you will get
- a
qsub
command in a single-line format (to paste on CLI) - dtto in a multi-line format of
#PBS
directives (to paste to the top section of batch script) - a list of machines that comply with your criterions
The common confusion is that users try to remove the whole scratch directory
rm -rf $SCRATCHDIR
while they are allowed to remove only the content of the scratch directory:
rm -rf $SCRATCHDIR/*
The empty scratch directory will be removed automatically after some time.
