SGE basics

Sadly, things never quite worked right on my local install of SGE. But it turns out UM CSCS already has one set up that I can use. So that’s what I’m doing.

A summary of basic commands in SGE…

qsub
submits a job in a shell script. if you try to submit an executable binary, it won’t work.

-m b|e|a|s|n
tells qsub when to send mail: at the beginning, end, abort/rescheduling, suspension, or not at all.
qstat
displays queue status.
qmon
really ugly gui for submitting and controlling/monitoring jobs.
