okay bestie, meet pbs_mkdirs(8B) — the Windows-only directory-and-permissions fixer-upper for PBS, and she is lowkey essential 💅

✨ NAME ✨

pbs_mkdirs — For Windows. Create, or fix the permissions of, the directories and files used by PBS. Periodt. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

pbs_mkdirs
pbs_mkdirs [ mom ]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the vibe: this runs on Windows only. If the directories and files used by PBS already exist, the pbs_mkdirs command fixes their permissions.

The pbs_mkdirs command always examines the following directories and files:

  • pbs.conf
  • PBS_EXEC
  • PBS_HOME/spool
  • PBS_HOME/undelivered
  • PBS_HOME/pbs_environment

🔐 Required Privilege 🔐

You must have Administrator privilege to run this command. No cap — admin only 😭👑

okay bestie, here's the option tea:

  • mom — the pbs_mkdirs command examines these additional items:
    • PBS_HOME/mom_priv
    • PBS_HOME/mom_logs
  • (no options) — the pbs_mkdirs command examines all of the files and directories specified for the mom option.
