Interactive Jobs with bsub
Redirecting a script to bsub standard input
You can redirect a script to the standard input of the bsub command:
% bsub < myscript
Job submitted to queue .
In this example, the myscript file contains job submission options as well as
command lines to execute. When the bsub command reads a script from its
standard input, it can be modified right after bsub returns for the next job
submission.
When the script is specified on the bsub command line, the script is not
spooled:
% bsub myscript
Job submitted to default queue .
In this case the command line myscript is spooled, instead of the contents of
the myscript file. Later modifications to the myscript file can affect job
behavior.
Specifying embedded submission options
You can specify job submission options in scripts read from standard input by
the bsub command using lines starting with #BSUB:
% bsub -q simulation
bsub> #BSUB -q test
bsub> #BSUB -o outfile -R "mem>10"
bsub> myjob arg1 arg2
bsub> #BSUB -J simjob
bsub> ^D
Job submitted to queue .
There are a few things to note:
◆ Command-line options override embedded options. In this example, the
job is submitted to the simulation queue rather than the test queue.
◆ Submission options can be specified anywhere in the standard input. In the
above example, the -J option of bsub is specified after the command to
be run.
◆ More than one option can be specified on one line, as shown in the
example above.
