Hi everyone, we are hardly ever using soft requests, but we have an external load balancer that faces a problem that should also appear with soft requests, namely: how does a job know if a request has been granted? I could not find anything I'm the docs or the output of env. Sometimes, it is possible to detect this by looking at the node where the job is running, but sometimes it is not: - when requesting a floating software license, there may be licenses available on the license server, but the scheduler may have allocated them to a different job; - likewise for job-exclusive accelerator hardware;
Is there any way to detect this from inside a job script? Thanks, A. -- Ansgar Esztermann DV-Systemadministration Max-Planck-Institut für biophysikalische Chemie, Abteilung 105 _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] https://gridengine.org/mailman/listinfo/users
