available
python setup.py install
If you are missing the right to write to the system wide python directories, use
python setup.py install --user
to install the package in ~/.local
. You might then have to
export PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin
in order to make the scripts available on the command line.
ejobs
, ehosts
, and esub
have essentially the same interfaces as LSF's
bjobs
, bhosts
, and bsub
.
Check
ejobs -h
ehosts -h
esub -h
man bjobs
man bhosts
man bsub
To resolve commonly encountered and possibly cryptic user names, ejobs
and
ehosts
provide a mechanism to replace such user names by user defined aliases.
These aliases are read from ~/.useraliases
(if existing), which needs to be in
the following format: each user is on its own line; the first word on the line
is the user name, all following words are the user alias. E.g.:
