💖 pbs_submit_workers(1) 💖

ok so bestie, welcome to the Cooperative Computing Tools manual, and this lil page right here is all about pbs_submit_workers — the girlboss that yeets your work_queue_worker onto a PBS cluster. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

pbs_submit_workers — submit work_queue_worker to a PBS cluster. that's it, that's the job 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

pbs_submit_workers [options] <servername> <port> <num-workers>

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

ok so here's the tea: pbs_submit_workers schedules the execution of work_queue_worker(1) on the PBS batch system, and it does it through PBS's own job submission interface, qsub. no cap. the number of work_queue_worker instances that get scheduled and run is literally whatever you pass as the num-workers argument — so you decide the squad size. 👑

the servername and port arguments specify the hostname and port number of the manager that the work_queue_worker is gonna connect to. those two arguments become optional when the auto mode option is specified for work_queue_worker. iykyk ✨
