#
# use: submit job with
# qsub pbs.template
#
# job name (default is name of pbs script file)
#PBS -N myjob
#
# resource limits: number of CPUs to be used
#PBS -l ncpus=25
#
# resource limits: amount of memory to be used
#PBS -l mem=213mb
#
# resource limits: max. wall clock time during which job can be running
#PBS -l walltime=3:20:00
#
#
# path/filename for standard output
#PBS -o mypath/my.out
#
# path/filename for standard error
#PBS -e mypath/my.err
#
# queue name, one of {default, special express}
# The default queue, "default", need not be specified
#PBS -q default
#
# group account (for example, g12345) to be charged
#PBS -W group_list=g12345
#
# files to be copied to execution server before script processing starts
# usage: -W stagein=local-filename@remotehost:remote-filename
#PBS -W stagein=my.input@msa01-h:runs/input/my.input
#
# files to be copied from execution server after script processing
# usage: -W stageout=local-filename@remotehost:remote-filename
#PBS -W stageout=my.output@msa01-h:runs/output/my.outout
#
# start job only after MMDDhhmm, where M=Month, D=Day, h=hour, m=minute
# e.g., July 4th, 14:30
#PBS -a 07041430
#
# send me mail when job begins
#PBS -m b
# send me mail when job ends
#PBS -m e
# send me mail when job aborts (with an error)
#PBS -m a
# if you want more than one message, you must group flags on one line,
# otherwise, only the last flag selected executes:
#PBS -mba
#
# do not rerun this job if it fails
#PBS -r n
#
# export all my environment variables to the job
#PBS -V
#
#
# Using PBS - Environment Variables
# When a batch job starts execution, a number of environment variables are
# predefined, which include:
#
# Variables defined on the execution host.
# Variables exported from the submission host with
# -v (selected variables) and -V (all variables).
# Variables defined by PBS.
#
# The following reflect the environment where the user ran qsub:
# PBS_O_HOST The host where you ran the qsub command.
# PBS_O_LOGNAME Your user ID where you ran qsub.
# PBS_O_HOME Your home directory where you ran qsub.
# PBS_O_WORKDIR The working directory where you ran qsub.
#
# These reflect the environment where the job is executing:
# PBS_ENVIRONMENT Set to PBS_BATCH to indicate the job is a batch job, or
# to PBS_INTERACTIVE to indicate the job is a PBS interactive job.
# PBS_O_QUEUE The original queue you submitted to.
# PBS_QUEUE The queue the job is executing from.
# PBS_JOBID The job's PBS identifier.
# PBS_JOBNAME The job's name.
