Here are quick instructions for submitting a job to the batch queue system.
Please use it for any job you think will run for longer than (say) 30 minutes
-- especially if you're working on a machine in the batch queue system. For 
more information (and to see if your machine is in the batch queue system) go 
here: http://hep.uchicago.edu/help/software/openpbs/


Save the following text to a file where
NAME is the name of your job
ERROR_LOG is the path and name of the logfile
cput=xx:xx:xx is a reasonable estimate of the cpu time desired -- feel free
	      to delete if you don't want to run in the short queue -- less 
	      than 1.5 hrs.
CDFSOFTVER is the cdfsoft2 version (feel free to delete these lines if you're 
not using cdf software)
The umask command sets the permissions of the outgoing file (so umask 006
sets the permissions to 771). 'ulimit -c 0' tells the shell not to dump a core 
file. Uncomment these if you want to use them.
DIRECTORY is the execution directory
COMMAND_NAME and TCLFILE is the command you're using. 

KEEP THE NICE COMMAND THERE!! BE KIND TO OTHERS!!

        #PBS -N NAME 
        #PBS -q cdf 
        #PBS -o ERROR_LOG 
        #PBS -j oe 
        #PBS -l cput=xx:xx:xx 
        #PBS -S /bin/bash 
        source ~cdfsoft/cdf2.shrc 
        setup cdfsoft2 CDFSOFTVER
        unset DISPLAY 
        ##umask 006 
        ##ulimit -c 0 
	cd DIRECTORY
        /bin/nice --adjustment=10 COMMAND_NAME TCLFILE


To run:
	Log into cdf27.uchicago.edu
        >qsub script -z -r y

where script is the file you created

This should work. Type qstat to see the status of your job. qstat -f gives a 
more detailed listing. 

If this does not work (or if you have any questions), let me know 
(cwolfe@hep.uchicago.edu).
