How to Submit a FieldView Job
To schedule a job, you will need to write a SLURM batch script for your job. See the example below. Save your script as jobname.sbatch. Once you have written your script you will need to run it.
Run a SLURM Batch Script:
[user@Head ~]$ sbatch jobname.sbatch
Example SLURM Batch Script:
#!/bin/bash
#
#SBATCH –comment=fieldview-test1
#SBATCH –ntasks=4
#SBATCH –job-name=fieldview-test
#SBATCH –output=output.%j.fieldview-test
#SBATCH –time=01:00:00
module add fieldview
fv -batch -s test.sim
