# remember that things after the # sign are ignored by bash
# lines in blocks like this often will scroll to the right
cds # move to your scratch directory
mkdir my_first_job # make a new folder called "my_first_job"
cd my_first_job # move into the new folder to make it easier to create a file there
nano commands
# the following lines should be typed into the nano editor so they will be saved to the new file "commands"
cat commands > commands.out # this will print the contents of the file you are currently editing to a new file called commands.out
date > date.out # this will create a file with todays date on it
pwd > current_directory.out # this will create a file with the current directory in it
echo "my name is <YOURNAME>" >> name.out # Note that this time we used the append symbol >> not the write symbol > as we plan to put multiple things into the same file. be sure to replace the <> signs with your name
echo "This is the final result of my first script. It worked how I thought it would, or hopefully have the resources to figure out why it didn't" >> name.out # this will add another line of text to the name.out file.
# feel free to add up to 7 more lines to your commands file here using the cat/ls/pwd/mkdir/other commands that you know.
# beware using cd commands here as it will change your directory as if you were doing it on an interactive node and may cause you to reference files that don't exist
# write and exit nano now ctrl-o ctrl-x
launcher_creator.py -n "my_first_job" -j commands -t 00:02:00 -a "UT-2015-05-18" # this will create a my_first_job.slurm file that will run for 2 minutes
sbatch my_first_job.slurm # this will actually submit the job to the Queue Manager and if everything has gone right, it will be added to the development queue. |
