Step 1: Submit a Simple Job:

This tutorial is oriented especially toward marylou0, as well as the other SMP-oriented supercomputers. However, most of the principles are applicable to other systems as well. For further details, please see our PBS information page.

The command to submit a job to the queue is: qsub

marylou%  qsub

The cursor should drop to the next line where you can type shell commands to run in the batch job. Lets type a few commands to run via batch:

ls /opt/pbstut
hostname
echo "1234 * 4321" | bc

Now to submit the job we do a CTRL-d (The Ctrl key held down while pressing d). Make sure to do the Ctrl-d on an empty line (i.e. hit Enter after the typing the last line above)

We should then see a job identifier number next to marylou0.et.byu.edu. Take note of this number.

505.marylou.et.byu.edu
marylou %

Congratulations, you just submitted your first batch job!
