QuickStart Job Output
When a job is submitted and completed, both an output and an error file is generated. These files are generated at the location where the job was started. The ".o" file will contain what was streamed to standard i/o during your job. The ".e" file contains any error text.
-
Example (assume #PBS -N example_job used in myjob_script.pbs)
$ qsub myjob_script.pbs
41880.rolandAfter the job completed, both files are created.
example_job.o41880
example_job.e41880If you choose to receive emails (#PBS -m abe), the path to these files will be included in the body of the job emails.
PBS Job Id: 41880.roland
Job Name: example_job
...
Error_Path: hpcprdssh02:/data/home/your_netid/example_job.e41880
Output_Path: hpcprdssh02:/data/home/tboyle/hpc/python/example_job.o41880
These two streams don’t have to be collected in separate files. If you prefer you can join them into one file using -j option in your job submission script.
#PBS -j oe
-
Consider the Following Job Submission File (my_sleep.pbs)
#!/bin/bash
#PBS -N sleeptest
#PBS -l nodes=1:ppn=1
#PBS -l walltime=00:5:00
#PBS -m abe
#PBS -M [email protected]
#PBS -j oeJOBID=`echo $PBS_JOBID | cut -f1 -d.`
#print the time and date
date#wait for 1 minute
sleep 60#print the time and date?
daet
In the working directory where qsub was started, there is now a new file (sleeptest.o41881) and if we take a look at it, we see both the output from the date command and the error output of the typo date (daet) command.
$ less sleeptest.o41881
