NAME

6       qtask - file format of the qtask file.
7

DESCRIPTION

9       A  qtask  file  defines which commands are submitted to Grid Engine for
10       remote execution by qtcsh(1).  The qtask file  optionally  may  contain
11       qrsh(1)  command-line  parameters.  These  parameters are passed to the
12       qrsh(1) command being used by qtcsh to submit the commands.
13
14       A cluster global qtask file defining cluster wide defaults and  a  user
15       specific  qtask  file eventually overriding and enhancing those defini‐
16       tions   are   supported.   The   cluster   global   file   resides   at
17       <ge_root>/<cell/common/qtask, while the user specific file can be found
18       at ~/.qtask. An exclamation mark preceding command definitions  in  the
19       cluster  global  can be used by the administrator to deny overriding of
20       such commands by users.
21

FORMAT

23       The principle format of the qtask file is that  of  a  tabulated  list.
24       Each  line  starting  with a '#' character is a comment line. Each line
25       despite comment lines defines a command to be started remotely.
26
27       Definition starts with the command name that  must  match  exactly  the
28       name  as typed in a qtcsh(1) command-line. Pathnames are not allowed in
29       qtask files. Hence absolute or relative pathnames in qtcsh(1)  command-
30       lines  always  lead  to local execution even if the commands itself are
31       the same as defined in the qtask files.
32
33       The command name can be followed by  an  arbitrary  number  of  qrsh(1)
34       option arguments which are passed on to qrsh(1) by qtcsh(1).
35
36       An  exclamation  mark prefixing the command in the cluster global qtask
37       file prevents overriding by the user supplied qtask file.

EXAMPLES

40       The following qtask file
41
42              netscape -l a=sol-sparc64 -v DISPLAY=myhost:0
43              grep -l h=filesurfer
44              verilog -l veri_lic=1
45
46       designates the applications netscape, grep and verilog for  interactive
47       remote execution through Grid Engine. Netscape is requested to run only
48       on Solaris64 architectures with the DISPLAY environment variable set to
49       'myhost:0',  grep  only runs on the host named 'filesurfer' and verilog
50       requests availability of a verilog license in  order  to  get  executed
51       remotely.
