Version 1.1

diet-submit-lot can submit scripts or lots (sets of scripts) on a machine. The diet agent selects the best machine on which the lot will be submitted. This command takes in argument the script or the file containing set of scripts on which we want to submit the lot.

Synopsis

diet-submit-lot [--config diet_config_file] script or lot

Description

diet-submit-lot uses the configuration file diet_config_file defined with the --config option to be able to get information about the machine on which we launch the command. If the --config option is not set, diet-submit-lot will use $HOME/.diet/client.cfg. If this file does not exist, the path to the client configuration file could also be defined with the DIET_CLIENT_CONFIG environment variable.

Once diet-submit-lot has found the configuration file, the script or the lot can then be submitted on the best selected machine. If neither --N nor --P are given, then the size of the packets are automatically determined: each packet will have no more than (INITIAL_PACKET_SIZE - nbJobs * f), where INITIAL_PACKET_SIZE is set by default to (200), nbJobs is the number of jobs currently running on the batch system, and f is a proportional factor initially set to 1/2.

[--config diet_config_file]
Configuration file used by diet-submit-lot to be able to submit a script or a lot on best selected machine. This option can be omitted. In that case we fall back to the default configuration file $HOME/.diet/client.cfg. The configuration file path could also be defined through a environment variable : DIET_CLIENT_CONFIG.
