NAME

       sge_request - Grid Engine default request definition file format

DESCRIPTION

       sge_request  reflects the format of the files defining default request profiles.  These apply to qsub(1),
       qsh(1), qrsh(1), and qlogin(1), but for convenience, only qsub is mentioned below.  If available, default
       request files are read and processed during job submission, before any submit options embedded in the job
       script, and before any options in the qsub(1) command-line are considered.  Thus,  the  command-line  and
       embedded  script  options  may  overwrite  the  settings  in  the  default request files (see qsub(1) for
       details).  However, where options may be repeated and accumulated, typically they are  collected  into  a
       list from the various sources, which may not be what you want.

       There is a cluster global, a user private, and a working directory local default request definition file.
       The working directory local default request file has the highest precedence and is followed by  the  user
       private and then the cluster global default request file.

       Note,  that  the  -clear  option to qsub(1) can be used to discard any previous settings at any time in a
       default request file, in the embedded script flags or in a qsub(1) command-line option.

       The format of the default request definition files is:

       •  The default request files may contain an arbitrary number of lines.  Blank lines, and lines with a '#'
          sign in the first column, are skipped.

       •  Each  line not to be skipped may contain any qsub(1) option. More than one option per line is allowed.
          The batch script file and argument options to the batch script are not considered as  qsub(1)  options
          and thus are not allowed in a default request file.

EXAMPLES

       The following is a simple example of a default request definition file:

       =====================================================
       # Default Requests File

       # request group to be sun4 and a CPU-time of 5hr
       -l arch=sun4,s_cpu=5:0:0

       # don't restart the job in case of system crashes
       -r n
       =====================================================

       Having defined a default request definition file like this, submitting a job as follows:

       qsub test.sh

       would have precisely the same effect as if the job was submitted with:

       qsub -l arch=sun4,s_cpu=5:0:0 -r n test.sh
