Last active August 29, 2015 13:57
Summarise Sun Grid Engine (SGE) qstat contents for the current user (and save output to a file)
function qs() {
# Also use qs as shortcut to qstat -j
if [ $# -gt 0 ]
then
jobNum=$1
qstat -j ${jobNum}
fi
# Just one call to qstat; "double quotes" around "${qstat_contents}" below maintain the line breaks

nmpowell / matlab_np.sh
Last active July 22, 2016 14:39
Bash / shell script for running Matlab jobs with the Sun Grid Engine. Qsub this whole script, rather than qsubbing Matlab directly.
#!/bin/sh
# matlab_np.sh
# Shell script to run a Matlab function from the bash shell
# Ensure Matlab function is on the path first
# NB Matlab breaks the bash shell, hence stty echo
# stty echo works by itself; stty sane is just-in-case; haven't confirmed that it's necessary.
#
# Example usage: $ matlab_np.sh functionName 'string arg' arg2 ${arg3}...
# Use with Qsub: $ ${QSUB_CMD} matlab_np.sh functionName arguments
# NB do not Qsub matlab directly as your arguments won't be passed to the Matlab function

Some Sun Grid Engine shortcuts to include in .bashrc
# .bashrc
# simple qsub: assings 8GB memory for 1 hour. Call with: $ nq8 script.sh
alias nq8='qsub -l h_rt=01:00:00 -l tmem=8.0G -l h_vmem=8.0G -l vf=4.0 -l s_stack=10240 -R y -j y -S /bin/csh -b y -cwd -V'
# Shell function to echo the current time along with status updates
echoStatusTime() {
STATUS_TEXT=$1
NOW=$(date +%T)
DATE=$(date +%F)
