Synopsis

cyanajob [option] macro parameters

Description

The cyanajob shell script starts CYANA to execute the given macro as batch or background job. The macro name can be given with or without the .cya extension. The cyanajob script is the preferred way to start a parallel CYANA calculation. For interactive use, CYANA is started through the cyana script.

The cyanajob command can only be invoked from the Unix shell. The command syntax follows Unix (not INCLAN) conventions.

The cyanajob script is machine-dependent and must be adapted to the particular application environment. The machine-dependent default values of the following options can be inspected by using the -h option.

Options:

-h
help
-a file
start job only after file exists
-j name
job name (default: macro)
-n nproc
number of processors
-o options
options for the CYANA program
-p program
name of the CYANA start script (default: cyana)
-q queue
batch queue
-s command
submit command
-S
run CYANA in safe (restriced) mode

Frequently used options are -n to set the number of processors used in parallel, -p to specify the command by which CYANA is started (e.g. if several different versions of the program are installed on the system), and -q to choose a certain batch queue.
