You can use LoadLeveler to sequentially run several job steps, each made up of one or more job steps and each one dependent upon the completion status of the previous job step. The job steps are defined each in its own job command file. A job command file specifies the name of the job, as well as the job steps that you want to submit and can contain other LoadLeveler statements. You can submit batch jobs to LoadLeveler for scheduling. Batch jobs run in the background and generally do not require any input from the user.
Batch jobs can either be serial or parallel .
Serial jobs are processed sequentially by the machine and parallel jobs are separated into multiple parts that can be processed simultaneously by several machines. You must be an experienced UNIX user in order to use LoadLeveler effectively. Otherwise netscape will ask you about a directory on the machine on which it is running where you want the document to be deposited. This manual describes installation and administration of LoadLeveler. It describes how to tune LoadLeveler and explains various commands and files provided for use in the configuration process.
