How do I get mails about my jobs status?
From the manual:
The qsub -m command requests email to be sent to the user who submitted a job or to the email addresses specified by the -M flag if certain events occur. See the qsub(1) man page for a description of the flags. An argument to the -m option specifies the events. The following arguments are available:
- b – Send email at the beginning of the job.
- e – Send email at the end of the job.
- a – Send email when the job is rescheduled or aborted (for example, by using the qdel command).
- s – Send email when the job is suspended.
- n – Do not send email. n is the default.
Use a string made up of one or more of the letter arguments to specify several of these options with a single -m option. For example, -m be sends email at the beginning and at the end of a job.
Thus, you can simply change your submit script like this:
#!/bin/bash
#$ -N NAME_OF_JOB
#$ -m a,s
#$ -M user1@ulb.ac.be,user2@gmail.com
#$ -cwd
This sends a mail to the two specified email addresses if the job is rescheduled or aborted. If you omit -M, the mail is send to the user who submitted the job.
Compiling your programs on the cluster
As stated before, you should always compile your programs on the nodes
and NOT on majorana. As the nodes are sometimes really busy (and thus
compilation takes ages), I reserved the node “c0-0″ for compiling.
From now on, please compile your programs on c0-0.
