NAME

       freefoam-job - Runs a FreeFOAM job in the background

SYNOPSIS

       freefoam job [-case <caseDir>] [-s] [-p] [-hosts <hostFile>] [-log <logFile>] [-fg]
       [-help] <application> [<options>]

DESCRIPTION

       Runs the FreeFOAM application <application>. Unless the -fg option is specified, the job
       is run in the background (this options is ignored if -s is specified). The output is
       written to the file log, which can be overridden using the -log option. If -s is
       specified, the output will also be sent to the screen. The -p option will start the
       application in parallel using the setting of parRunTemplate in the global controlDict (see
       freefoam(1)). The option -hosts can be used to provide a file containing a list of host
       names for the parallel run.
