🌸 pbs_lamboot(8B) 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to the pbs_lamboot manual page — it's section 8B of the PBS Professional docs, and honestly? it's a whole mood. it's the PBS front end to LAM's lamboot program, and yes we're gonna get into all of it 💅

✨ NAME ✨

pbs_lamboot — the PBS front end to LAM's lamboot program 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

pbs_lamboot

pbs_lamboot --version

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so first things first, and I need you to sit down for this one: deprecated. yeah. it's giving "still here, still slaying, but like… officially old." 😭

anyway! the PBS command pbs_lamboot replaces the standard lamboot command in a PBS LAM MPI job, and its whole job is starting LAM software on each of the PBS execution hosts running Linux 2.4 or higher. iconic behavior, no cap.

usage is literally the same as for LAM's lamboot. all arguments except for bhost get passed directly to lamboot 🫶 and PBS will throw a warning saying that the bhost argument is ignored by PBS, since input is taken automatically from $PBS_NODEFILE. so like, don't bother, bestie, it's handled 💅

and here's the cute part — pbs_lamboot will not redundantly consult the $PBS_NODEFILE if it's already been instructed to boot the nodes using the tm module. the way that works: that instruction happens when an argument is passed to pbs_lamboot containing -ssi boot tm, or when the LAM_MPI_SSI_boot environment variable exists with the value tm. two paths, same slay ✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• --version — the pbs_lamboot command returns its PBS version information and exits. lowkey self-obsessed of it, and honestly? deserved. 👑 heads up though: this option can only be used alone — it does not play well with friends 🙈

🌈 OPERANDS 🌈

the operands for pbs_lamboot are the same as for lamboot. that's it, that's the whole section, we love a short king 🧚

🍓 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES 🍓

PATH

the PATH on remote machines must contain PBS_EXEC/bin. non-negotiable, bestie — no path, no boot, no vibes 💀
