Configure .appion.cfg¶

The .appion.cfg file is used to automatically create job files and submit them to your job submission server. The example file provided below works for the Torque Resource Manager.
Instructions for installing Torque appear as a later step in this manual under the Setup Remote Processing section.

1. Create a hidden file called .appion.cfg in the myami directory, at one level above where appionlib reside as the configuration for all users
   For example, from python command prompt
   

   import appionlib
   appionlib
   

   
   gives
   

   <module 'appionlib' from '/usr/lib/python26/site-packages/appionlib/__init__.pyc'>
   

   
   then the path where appion looks for this global configuration file is
   

   /usr/lib/python26/.appion.cfg
   

Note: This file may be added to a users home directory on the processing host to override the configuration found in the installation directory.
 

1. Add the following contents:
   

   ProcessingHostType=Torque
   
   Shell=/bin/csh
   
   ScriptPrefix=
   
   ExecCommand=/usr/local/bin/qsub
   
   StatusCommand=/usr/local/bin/qstat
   
   AdditionalHeaders= -m e, -j oe
   
   PreExecuteLines=
   

2. Modify the settings for your Processing Host. For example, you can specify "SGE" if your processingHostType uses the Sun Grid Engine scheduler or /bin/bash if your shell is bash.
