GENERATE_PBS_NODEFILE(1)

✨ GENERATE_PBS_NODEFILE ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because this one is short and sweet and honestly kind of iconic 💅 it's a page from the General Commands Manual, so you know it's official official.

🌸 NAME 🌸

generate_pbs_nodefile — bestie, it generates a $PBS_NODEFILE-style file with the list of nodes used by a job 🦋 no cap, that's literally the whole job description.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

generate_pbs_nodefile

that's it. no flags, no args, no drama. she simply is. 👑

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This manual page documents briefly the generate_pbs_nodefile command. (yes, "briefly" — she's a lowkey queen who says what she means and dips 🙈)

generate_pbs_nodefile is a program that uses SLURM environment variables to produce a $PBS_NODEFILE-style output file. the way it reads SLURM env vars and just translates the whole vibe into PBS format? obsessed. 🌈

The output goes in a temporary file, and the name of that file gets printed on stdout. so like, the program doesn't hand you the node list directly — it hands you the receipt with the filename on it, and you go get the list yourself. main character energy fr fr. 💅

⭐ Intended usage is:

export PBS_NODEFILE=`generate_pbs_nodefile`

that's the whole ritual, bestie — run it in backticks, shove the printed filename straight into PBS_NODEFILE, and now all your PBS-flavored tooling thinks it's living in a PBS world when really it's SLURM underneath. it's giving undercover. it's giving method acting. it ate and left no crumbs. 🍓

and that's the tea 🧚💜 this lil' page came from the General Commands Manual and was dated October 1, 2013 — vintage, but make it slay. mwah, bye bestie! 💖✨🎀
