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.
