scripts useful when using PBS job management system

Usage

pbstdout and pbstderr

pbstdout and pbstderr read the STDOUT and STDERR output, respectively, from a job managed by PBS. These scripts take as a single argument the jobid. For example:

$ pbstdout 1269034

pbsfollow

pbsfollow reads the last lines of both the STDOUT and STDERR files for a job managed by PBS. When the script runs, the user is placed in a view that updates every 5 seconds. So, new lines added to STDOUT and STDERR will be continuously displayed. Like pbstdout and pbstderr it takes as a single argument the jobid. And, pbsfollow uses pbstdout and pbstderr, so these commands need to be in your default path.

nodetop

nodetop displays a top window of processes running on a specific node in a cluster managed by PBS. It updates every 15 seconds. nodetop takes as a single argument the name of the node. For example:

nodetop node095
