How to run a job with 'qsub' arguments or script flags about drmaa-python HOT 3 OPEN

So DRMAA would be used to set the working directory (workingDirectory), stdout/stderr log filenames (outputPath/errorPath ), job name (jobName), and command to be run (remoteCommand). The -j y is redundant for DRMAA; so, would be dropped. The rest don't have a corresponding DRMAA parameter, but can be passed in using nativeSpecification, which is just a catchall string parameter for anything that qsub (or similar on other clusters) would need.

As a simple example, you might find this code interesting. It creates a light CLI around DRMAA and allows submitting jobs without much of the boiler plate that qsub needs.

Thanks. Found a mention of it here:

I have a job script on SGE which has the following line embedded to specify the -pe option: "# -pe smp 8" How can I make DRMAA book the slots in SGE correctly?

If there are platform (SGE) specific things that you want to pass on that are not in the general drmaa interface, you can use the nativeSpecification field to pass any string that you like. E.g. job.nativeSpecification = "-pe smp 8"

Glad to hear that helped. Good to close?
