NAME

       hostgroup - host group entry file format

DESCRIPTION

       A  host  group  entry  is used to merge host names to groups.  Each  host  group  entry  file defines one
       group. Inside a group definition file you can also reference groups. These groups are called subgroups. A
       subgroup is referenced by the sign "@" as first character of the name.

       A  list  of currently-configured host group entries can be displayed via the qconf(1) -shgrpl option. The
       contents of each listed host group entry can be shown via the  -shgrp  switch.  The  output  follows  the
       hostgroup  format description. New host group entries can be created and existing can be modified via the
       -ahgrp, -mhgrp, -dhgrp and -?attr options to qconf(1).

       Note, Grid Engine allows backslashes (\) be used to escape newline  characters.  The  backslash  and  the
       newline are replaced with a space character before any interpretation.

FORMAT

       A host group entry contains the following parameters:

   group_name
       The  group_name  defines  the  host  group  name. Host group names have to begin with an '@' character as
       explained for hostgroup_name in sge_types(5).

   hostlist
       The names of all hosts and host groups (see host_identifier in sge_types(5)) which  are  members  of  the
       group.  Only whitespace is allowed as list separators. The default value for this parameter is NONE.

       Note,  if  the  first  character  of  the  host_identifier is an "@" sign the name is used to reference a
       hostgroup(5) which is taken as a subgroup of this group.

EXAMPLE

       This is a typical host group entry:

       group_name @bigMachines

       hostlist @solaris64 @solaris32 fangorn balrog

       The entry will define a new host group called @bigMachines. In this host  group  are  the  host  fangorn,
       balrog and all members of the host groups @solaris64 and @solaris32.
