lsltasks
displays or updates a local task list
Synopsis
lsltasks [+ task_name ... | – task_name ...]
lsltasks [-h | -V]
Description
Displays or updates a user local task list in $HOME/.lsftask.
When no options are specified, displays tasks listed in the system task file
lsf.task
and the user task file
.lsftask.
If there is a conflict between the system task file
lsf.task and the user task file
(
.lsftask), the user task file overrides the system task file.
Tasks in the local task list are not eligible for remote execution, either because they
are trivial tasks or because they need resources on the local host.
Options
+ task_name If + is specified and the specified task names are not already in the user task file
(
.lsftask), adds the task names to the file with a plus sign (+) preceding them.
If any of the task names are already in the
.lsftask file, the actual action depends
on the entry in the file. If the entry starts with a
+ or nothing, replaces the entry with
the specified content; if the entry starts with a minus sign (-), deletes the entry from
the
.lsftask file.
- task_name If – is specified and specified task names are not already in the user .lsftask file,
adds the task names to the file with a – preceding the task name.
If any of the task names are already in the
.lsftask file, the actual action depends
on the entry in the file. If the entry starts with a –, no operation is done; if the entry
starts with a +, deletes the entry from the
.lsftask file.
-h Prints command usage to stderr and exits.
-V Prints LSF release version to stderr and exits.
Examples
lsltasks + foo
Adds the command foo to the local task list.
Files
Reads the system task file lsf.task, and the user .lsftask file. See lsf.task(5)
for more details.
