[Sqs-general] A blocking qsub call

[Warren W. K. <wkr...@gm...>]

Hi,
I just came across SQS and it may be what I am looking for.  I would be
using SQS with a makefile and I was wondering if it is possible to call
qsub in a way such that it submits the job, but does not return/exit until
the job is complete, preferably returning the job's exit status?  If not,
can anyone think of a way of engineering a script that would poll something
to see if the job is still running?

Hope that made sense,
Winni

[Sqs-general] SQS report

[Brian Salter-D. <b_...@bi...>]

I have no idea how many people are subscribed to this list or use SQS. I
may be talking to myself, but there have been 17 downloads of SQS this
year already.  So first, I would be delighted to hear from you about
your problems and requests for changes to SQS.

As you know, I finally uploaded version 3.1 to sourceforge last October.
I am now thinking about version 3.2.

I wrote SQS because I need it. I submit quantum chemistry program runs
to the queue because they use a lot of resources and need to run one at
a time, and some runs need information from the previous run. A queue is
ideal for that. Almost always I submit a job via a script that calls
qsub after creating a jobfile. However, more recently I have started
using a program where it is normal for the input file to be a script.
This means that qsub is called directly. I found that this had a few
annoying points that I have fixed. 

First, it was too easy to delete the input script if the job was removed
by qdel. The default for qdel was delete unless '-nd' was used. I have
changed that so the job file is only deleted if '-d' is specifically
called on qdel, as it is with qsub.

Second, qsub expects a full path to the job file. This is easy in a
script, but not ideal for direct submission. qsub now submits anything
starting with '/' directly, replaces './' at the start of the name with
the value of the global variable $PWD, and adds $PWD to any other name.
Does anyone use SQS where $PWD is not defined?

So, is anyone submitting jobs directly with qsub and not via a script?
Do you have any other suggestions for making this easier and work
better?

Finally is there anything else you would like to see in version 3.2? 

Best wishes to all SQS users for 2012.

Brian.

[Sqs-general] Latest release of SQS

[Brian Salter-D. <b_...@bi...>]

I have been very tardy in putting up recent versions of SQS to
sourceforge, but I have now put up version 3.1. Please take a look if
you are still using 2.7 or 2.8. Version 3.0 has several majot changes.
3.1 just fixes a small bug.

Please let me have your feedback.

Brian.

[Sqs-general] Version 3.0

[Brian Salter-D. <b_...@bi...>]

I have put a great deal of work into version 3.0 in the last 5 weeks or
so and I plan to release it on sourceforge before the end of January. If
you have any bug reports or feature requests please let me know as soon
as possible and I will try to accommodate them.

I will be updating my own page at:-

http://www.salter-duke.bigpondhosting.com/brian/sqs.html

very shortly. This gives more information about the latest version.

I see the last version on sourceforge was 2.8. I thought I had uploaded
2.9, but obviously not.

The ChangeLog entry for 2.9 was:-

Add the idea of a general queue, defined my $maxqu = 0, that submits
jobs to the queue with the lowest load.  Only queues defined as being in
a pool are considered.  The default priority is defined as 4, to allow
priority to be reduced as well as increased. This has been in use on
various sites for some time.

Regards, Brian.

[Sqs-general] SQS New release 2.8

[Brian Salter-D. <b_...@bi...>]

I have just released the latest version of SQS. This version 2.8 is very
similar to version 2.7.1 which was not released on sourceforge, but was
released off my web page. It allowed cluster use combined with web use
in one set of scripts on the one machine. I have extensively improved
the documentation since 2.7.1. but of course welcoem comments.

Please give me your feedback.

Brian.
