Andrew and Jack,
Thanks for bringing up the subject. For some time now I've been intending to
do something to GCG batch jobs at our site. I have now NQE load balancing running
between two IRIXs.
Setting it up went like Jack said except getting the cd command to work.
It was necessary to add an option to qsub (-la gcg) to get a tag for jobs coming
from GCG package and then add into a system startup file (/etc/tchs.login at our
site) the following lines:
if ( "$CSCENVIRONMENT" == "NQSBATCH" ) then
echo "*** NQS Batch Job ***"
date
if ( $?NQSATTR ) then
if ( "$NQSATTR" == "gcg" ) then # For GCG job submit
cd $QSUB_WORKDIR
endif
endif
endif
This is a more general way of doing things and makes it easy to use NQS/NQE in
different programs. This was done by our system manager Kirsti Lounamaa.
