NAME

       qtask - file format of the qtask file.

DESCRIPTION

       A  qtask  file  defines which commands are submitted to Sun Grid Engine for remote execution by qtcsh(1).
       The qtask file optionally may contain qrsh(1) command-line parameters. These parameters are passed to the
       qrsh(1) command being used by qtcsh to submit the commands.

       A  cluster  global  qtask  file  defining cluster wide defaults and a user specific qtask file eventually
       overriding  and  enhancing  those  definitions  are  supported.  The  cluster  global  file  resides   at
       <sge_root>/<cell/common/qtask, while the user specific file can be found at ~/.qtask. An exclamation mark
       preceding command definitions in the cluster global can be used by the administrator to  deny  overriding
       of such commands by users.

FORMAT

       The  principle  format  of  the  qtask  file  is  that of a tabulated list. Each line starting with a '#'
       character is a comment line. Each line despite comment lines defines a command to be started remotely.

       Definition starts with the command name that must match exactly the name as typed in a qtcsh(1)  command-
       line. Pathnames are not allowed in qtask files. Hence absolute or relative pathnames in qtcsh(1) command-
       lines always lead to local execution even if the commands itself are the same as  defined  in  the  qtask
       files.

       The  command  name can be followed by an arbitrary number of qrsh(1) option arguments which are passed on
       to qrsh(1) by qtcsh(1).

       An exclamation mark prefixing the command in the cluster global qtask file  prevents  overriding  by  the
       user supplied qtask file.

EXAMPLES

       The following qtask file

              netscape -l a=sol-sparc64 -v DISPLAY=myhost:0
              grep -l h=filesurfer
              verilog -l veri_lic=1

       designates  the applications netscape, grep and verilog for interactive remote execution through Sun Grid
       Engine. Netscape is requested to run  only  on  Solaris64  architectures  with  the  DISPLAY  environment
       variable  set  to  'myhost:0',  grep  only  runs  on  the  host  named  'filesurfer' and verilog requests
       availability of a verilog license in order to get executed remotely.
