NAME

       nqs2pbs - convert NQS job scripts to PBS

SYNOPSIS

       nqs2pbs nqs_script [pbs_script]

DESCRIPTION

       This  utility  converts  a existing NQS job script to work with PBS and NQS.  The existing
       script is copied and PBS directives, #PBS , are inserted prior to each NQS directive #QSUB
       or #@$ , in the original script.

       Certain  NQS  date  specification and options are not supported by PBS.  A warning message
       will be displayed indicating the problem and the line of the script on which it occurred.

       If any unrecognizable NQS directives are encountered, an error message is displayed.   The
       new PBS script will be deleted if any errors occur.

OPERANDS

       nqs_script
              Specifies the file name of the NQS script to convert.  This file is not changed.

       pbs_script
              If  specified,  it  is  the name of the new PBS script.   If not specified, the new
              file name is nqs_script.new .

NOTES

       Converting NQS date specifications to the PBS form may result in a warning message and  an
       incompleted  converted  date.   PBS  does  not  support  date  specifications  of "today",
       "tomorrow", or the name of the days of the week such as "Monday".  If  any  of  these  are
       encountered  in  a script, the PBS specification will contain only the time portion of the
       NQS specification, i.e. #PBS  -a  hhmm[.ss].    It  is  suggested  that  you  specify  the
       execution time on the qsub command line rather than in the script.

       Note that PBS will interpret a time specification without a date in the following way:

       -  If  the time specified has not yet been reached, the job will become eligible to run at
          that time today.

       -  If the specified time has already passed when the job is submitted, the job will become
          eligible to run at that time tomorrow.

       PBS does not support time zone identifiers.  All times are taken as local time.
