Bug 76069 – OpenPBS could use default startup script and PDF or equiv documentation files

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description John 2004-12-29 12:52:39 UTC]

As the emerge requires the original tar.gz file from the openpbs web site, the documentation files are available.   However the emerge should leave at least the PDF file somewhere.

The documentation is comprehensive and the variations on servers and clients may make a fully useful etc/init.d startup file hard to write, but perhaps a simple one-node batch one could be provided.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge openpbs
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Software not immediately usable.  Instructions not installed.

Expected Results:  
Left the file
PBS_v2.3_admin.pdf
on the system.

Created a file /etc/init.d/openpbs

# qpkg -I -nc -v openpbs
sys-cluster/openpbs-2.3.16-r1

It would be helpful if you'd attach said init script.

[Comment 2 John 2005-02-21 20:57:35 UTC]

Yes, it would be helpful, but I could only figure out enough to add a few lines to  /etc/conf.d/local.start


#  OpenPBS  Dec 2004
#  default all parameters; see /var/spool/PBS/{mom|sched|server}_priv/config

  /usr/sbin/pbs_mom
  /usr/sbin/pbs_server
  /usr/sbin/pbs_sched

The commands I used to create a very simple queueing system on a single-processor node (unclustered) were

qmgr
#
# Create and define queue fast
#
create queue fast
set queue fast queue_type = Execution
set queue fast enabled = True
set queue fast started = True
#
# Set server attributes.
#
set server scheduling = True
set server default_queue = fast
set server log_events = 511
set server mail_from = adm
set server scheduler_iteration = 600


And for those who like to emerge in batch, (purely for re-reading log files),

qmgr set server min acl_roots + root

the space before "root" is important, otherwise oot is permitted.

Is this problem also true of the Torque ebuild?  Who cares about PBS anymore...

I've got a few usefull scripts that could be added in on top of a Torque/PBS
install if that is appropriate.

[Comment 4 Robin Johnson 2005-07-05 15:49:02 UTC]

ok torque and openpbs now have a new init script (that works for both of them).
please test and report back so we can close this bug.

Hi, I have just installed openpbs-2.3.16-r2 and openpbs-common-1.1.0 packages
but the init.d/pbs script has Iwrong paths. It points to
/usr/spool/PBS/.... while I have only /var/spool/PBS/.... Further, some
directories referenced withing the init.d script do not exist. Would someone post
a working layout of the config directories/files?

donnie@supernova ~ $ find OpenPBS_2_3_16 -name '*.pdf'
donnie@supernova ~ $ 

The init script should be better now. Considering this fixed since there is no pdf in the tarball.
