Writing Shell Scripts in lstcsh

You should write shell scripts in /bin/sh and use the lstools commands for load

sharing. However,

lstcsh can be used to write load-sharing shell scripts.

By default, an

lstcsh script is executed as a normal tcsh script with load-sharing

disabled.

Running a script with load sharing enabled

The lstcsh -L option tells lstcsh that a script should be executed with load sharing

enabled, so individual commands in the script may be executed on other hosts.

There are three different ways to run an

lstcsh script with load sharing enabled:

◆

Run lstcsh -L script_name

OR:

◆

Make the script executable and put the following as the first line of the script. By

default,

lstcsh is installed in LSF_BINDIR.

The following assumes you installed

lstcsh in the /usr/share/lsf/bin

directory):

#!/usr/share/lsf/bin/lstcsh -L

OR:

Start an interactive lstcsh.

Enable load sharing, and set to remote mode:

lsmode on remote

Use the source command to read the script in.
