Template Submit Script

In order to submit a job, you need both a submit script and render script. Both can be created quickly from scratch using the stock templates: A template submit script can be created quickly via:

      rush -tss > submit-script

Here's a sample submit script:

#!/bin/csh -f

#
#  S U B M I T
#

source $RUSH_DIR/etc/.submit
rush -submit << EOF
title		SHOW/SHOT
ram		250
frames		1-100
logdir		$cwd/logs		# "-" to disable
command		$cwd/render-script
donemail				# "-" to disable
autodump	done			# off, done, donefail
cpus		vaio=1@100

# Optional
#notes		This is a test
#state		Pause
#logflags	keepall
#frames		1-10=Hold:Hello_world
#criteria	( linux | irix | osf1 )
EOF
exit $status

Submit scripts don't have to be written as csh scripts. Any language that can pipe text into a command can be used to submit jobs. The following shows a submit script written in Perl:

Perl Submit Script

#!/usr/bin/perl

my $myself = `logname`; $myself =~ s/\n//;
my $pwd    = `pwd`;     $pwd    =~ s/\n//;

open(SUBMIT, "|rush -submit");
print SUBMIT <<"EOF";
    ram        10
    frames     1-100
    logdir     $pwd/logs
    command    $pwd/render-script 
    donemail   $myself
    autodump   off
    criteria   ( linux | irix )
    cpus       +any=10\@100
EOF
close(SUBMIT);

if ( $? >> 8 ) 
    { print STDERR "-- submit failed --\n"; exit(1); }

exit(0);
