NAME
nqs2pbs - convert NQS job scripts to PBS
SYNOPSIS
nqs2pbs nqs_script [pbs_script]
DESCRIPTION
This utility converts a existing NQS job script
to work with PBS and NQS. The existing script is copied and PBS
directives, #PBS , are inserted prior to each NQS directive
#QSUB or #@$ , in the original script.
Certain NQS date specification and options are not supported by
PBS. A warning message will be displayed indicating the problem and
the line of the script on which it occurred.
If any unrecognizable NQS directives are encountered, an error
message is displayed. The new PBS script will be deleted if any
errors occur.
OPERANDS
- nqs_script
- Specifies the file name of the NQS script to convert. This file
is not changed.
- pbs_script
- If specified, it is the name of the new PBS script. If not
specified, the new file name is nqs_script.new .
NOTES
Converting NQS date specifications to the PBS form
may result in a warning message and an incompleted converted date.
PBS does not support date specifications of "today", "tomorrow", or
the name of the days of the week such as "Monday". If any of these
are encountered in a script, the PBS specification will contain
only the time portion of the NQS specification, i.e. #PBS -a
hhmm[.ss]. It is suggested that you specify the execution time on
the qsub command line rather than in the script.
Note that PBS will interpret a time specification without a date
in the following way:
- -
- If the time specified has not yet been reached, the job will
become eligible to run at that time today.
- -
- If the specified time has already passed when the job is
submitted, the job will become eligible to run at that time
tomorrow.
PBS does not support time zone identifiers. All times are taken
as local time.
