Administrator Guide
on a file system mounted on the same architecture as the target system
for which you are generating the PBS binaries. This may be the
same system that holds the source or it may not. Change directory to
the top of the target tree. For example,
cd /usr/local/pbs/obj
Step 4 Make a job Scheduler choice. A unique feature of PBS is its external
Scheduler module. This allows a site to implement any policy of
its choice. To provide even more freedom in implementing policy,
PBS provides three Scheduler frameworks. Schedulers may be
developed in the C language, the Tcl scripting language, or PBS’s
very own C language extensions, the Batch Scheduling Language,
or BaSL.
As distributed, configure will default to a C language based
Scheduler known as Standard. This Scheduler can be configured to
several common scheduling policies. When this Scheduler is
installed, certain configuration files are installed in
/usr/spool/PBS/sched_priv/. You will need to modify
these files for your site. These files are discussed in Chapter 9 “Configuring
the Scheduler” on page 87.
To change the selected Scheduler, see the two configure options
--set-sched and --set-sched-code in the Features and
Package Options section of this chapter. Additional information on
the use and configuration of other Schedulers can be found in Chapter
15 “Alternate Schedulers” on page 145.
Step 5 Read section 5.6 “Build Details” on page 29 then, from within the
top of the target tree created in step 3, type the following command
# /usr/local/src/pbspro_50/configure [options]
#
If you are building at the top of the source tree, type
./configure [options]
This will generate the complete target tree (starting with the current
working directory), a set of header files, and all the make files
needed to build PBS. Re-running the configure script will only
