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 may contain qrsh(1)  com‐
11       mand-line  parameters.  These parameters are passed to the qrsh(1) com‐
12       mand 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       $SGE_ROOT/$SGE_CELL/common/qtask,  while  the user specific file can be
18       found at ~/.qtask. An exclamation mark preceding command definitions in
19       the  cluster global can be used by the administrator to deny overriding
20       of such commands by users.
21

FORMAT

23       The format of the qtask file is that of a  tabulated  list.  Each  line
24       starting with a '#' character is a comment line. Each line despite com‐
25       ment lines defines a command to be started remotely.
26
27       The 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 themselves
31       are 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 it from being overridden 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.
