qlogin


Purpose

Login to a node via PBS.

Synopsis

qlogin [-t minutes] nodespec

Description

qlogin is a simplified interface for initiating interactive logins to nodes which are managed by the PBS batch system. It invokes qsub with the -I option and the requested node specification and time limit. PBS jobs initiated by qlogin are subject to the same scheduling policies and resource limits as any other PBS job. In particular, if the requested resource is not immediately available, qlogin will stall until the job gets scheduled.

Arguments

-t minutes
Maximum elapsed time limit for the interactive session, in minutes. The default is 15.
 
nodespec
Any node specification which is a valid argument for the "-l nodes=" option of qsub may be used. Typically, nodespec will simply be a node name (e.g., "nws01") or a node type (e.g., "c1").

Examples

qlogin ty01
qlogin -t 60 c2:ppn=2
qlogin 1:n1:ppn=2+16:c1
