We have introduced mail notifications within PBS to allow our users to be notified when a job begins, aborts and completes. The following additional directives will need to be set at the top of your job shell submission script.
#PBS -m baeĀ
#PBS -M e-mail@domain.comĀ
The first directive "-m" indicates the notification options, (b) begins, (a) aborts, (e) completion or end. You can either have all the options set or a single option. So if you just wanted to be notified about jobs completed, specify the "e" option within the directive.
#PBS -m e
The second directive is " -M " and this implies that a e-mail address be specified to send the notifications to.
Depending on the number of jobs being submitted we would strongly suggest creating a separate mail folder in which your notifications could be filtered into. Nobody likes a clunky inbox :-)
Happy qsub'ing
