💅 qrun(8B) — the PBS girlies' guide

okay so welcome to qrun, bestie — it's page 8B of the PBS manual and honestly it's giving "short but mighty" 💖

✨ NAME ✨

qrun — run a pbs batch job. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

qrun [-a] [-H host] job_identifier ...

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so qrun is that girl who just forces a batch server to initiate the execution of a batch job. no thoughts, head empty, the job runs. 💅

and like — the job is run regardless of scheduling position, resource requirements, or state. yes, even then. not me bypassing the entire scheduler 😭

🫶 but fr fr, in order to execute qrun, the user must have PBS Operation or Manager privilege. no privilege, no slay. periodt.

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -a — specifies the job(s) is to be run asynchronously. set it and let it cook 🔥
  • -H host — specifies the host within the cluster on which the job(s) are to be run. the host argument is the name of a host that is a member of the cluster of hosts managed by the server. and if you don't specify this option? the server will select the "worst possible" host on which to execute the job 💀 like not me getting assigned the worst host, i'm literally the main character

🍓 OPERANDS 🍓

the qrun command accepts one or more job_identifier operands, and they look like this:

sequence_number[.server_name][@server]

exactly that. copy it, don't @ me 🙈

💜 STANDARD ERROR 💜

the qrun command will write a diagnostic message to standard error for each error occurrence. so you will know. the errors are not subtle, they're icons ⭐

🔥 EXIT STATUS 🔥

  • upon successful processing of all the operands presented to the qrun command, the exit status will be a value of zero. we love a clean 0 🌈
  • if the qrun command fails to process any operand, the command exits with a value greater than zero. 😭

🌸 SEE ALSO 🌸

  • pbs_server(8B)
  • pbs_sched(8B)
  • qmgr(1B)

go read them, iykyk 💖

and that's the whole page, bestie — straight from the Local corner of the PBS manual, qrun(8B) section, dated the same as ever. go forth and force-run your jobs 🧚✨💅
