NAME

       sge_request - Sun Grid Engine default request definition file format

DESCRIPTION

       sge_request  reflects  the  format of the files to define default request profiles. 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) or qsh(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)  or
       qsh(1) for details).

       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) or qsh(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)  or  qsh(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  as  described  in  the  Sun  Grid  Engine
          Reference Manual. 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 and 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
