How to Pass Parameters from QSub to Bash Script?

Question

I\'m having an issue passing variables to a Bash script using QSub.

Assume I have a Bash script named example. The format of example is the following:

Answer 1

Not sure which batch scheduler you are using but on PBSPro or SGE then submitting with qsub example.sh this is a test should do what you want.

The Torque batch scheduler doesn't (AFAIK) allow passing command line arguments to the script this way. You would need to create a script looking something like this.

#!/bin/bash

echo $FOO

Then submit it with a command like:

qsub -v FOO="This is a test" example.sh
