exec

The exec allows to execute shell commands as batch processes without creating a JDF file. This command submits simple one section batch job. Also, this command can be used to run batch processes in interactive mode. The format of the command is:

  fbs exec -q <queuename> [<other options>] <command> [<arguments> ...]

Command options are:

• -q <queue name> - submit the section into specified queue, this is required parameter, similar to QUEUE JDF field;
• -I - run batch processes in interactive mode;
• -v - verbose output including equivalent JDF file;
• -s <section name> - assign section name, default is Exec, similar to section name in JDF;
• -n <numproc> - run <numproc> parallel batch processes, default is 1, similar to NUMPROC JDF field;
• -p <proctype> - use the specified process type, default is determined by the queue the section is submitted to, similar to PROC_TYPE JDF field;
• -w <wait time> - wait for completion of this job for specified amount of time. Wait time can be specied as integer number of seconds, or -1 or "forever" to make it wait indefinitely. This option is ignored in interactive mode;
• -h <hold time> - hold the job until specified time, similar to HOLD_TIME or AFTER JDF field;
• -r "<resource>:<amount> ... <attribute>" - request additional resources for each process, similar to PROC_RESOURCES JDF field;
• -i <increment> - submit the job at higher or priotity (minimal queue priority plus the specified increment), similar to PRIO_INC JDF field;
• -m <e-mail address> - send e-mail message with job completion report to the specified address, similar to MAIL_TO JDF field;
• -e <stderr file path template> - redirect batch process stderr file, similar to STDERR JDF field;
• -o <stdout file path template> - redirect batch process stderr file, similar to STDOUT JDF field;
• -N <node>,... - specifies the list of nodes to run the job on, similar to ON_NODES JDF field;
• <cmmand> [<arguments>] - the command to be executed by batch processes, similar to EXEC JDF field.
