NAME
       pbsdsh - distribute tasks to nodes under pbs

SYNOPSIS
       pbsdsh [-c copies] [-o] [-s] [-u] [-v] program [args]
       pbsdsh [-n node] [-o] [-s] [-u] [-v] program [args]
       pbsdsh [-h nodename] [-o] [-v] program [args]

DESCRIPTION
       Executes (spawns) a normal Unix program on one or more nodes under con-
       trol of the Portable Batch System, PBS.  Pbsdsh uses the  Task  Manager
       API, see tm_spawn(3), to distribute the program on the allocated nodes.

       When run without the -c or the -n option, pbsdsh will spawn the program
       on  all  nodes allocated to the PBS job.  The spawns take place concur-
       rently - all execute at (about) the same time.

       NOTE:  pbsdsh must be launched from from within an  interactive or non- 
       interactive job.

OPTIONS
       -c copies
              The program is spawned on  the  first  Copies  nodes  allocated.
              This option is mutual exclusive with -n.

       -h hostname
              The program is spawned on the node specified.

       -n node
              The  program  is  spawned  on one node which is the n-th node
              allocated.  This option is mutual exclusive with -c.

       -o     Capture  stdout  of  the spawned program.  Normally stdout goes to
              the job’s output.

       -s     If this option is given, the program is  run  in  turn  on  each
              node, one after the other.

       -u     The  program  is run once on each node (unique).  This ignores the
              number of allocated processors on a given node.

       -v     Verbose  output  about  error conditions and task exit status is
              produced.

OPERANDS
       The first operand, program, is the program to execute.

       Additional operands, args, are passed as arguments to the program.

STANDARD ERROR
       The pbsdsh command will write a diagnostic message  to  standard  error
       for each error occurrence.

EXIT STATUS
       Upon successful processing of all the operands presented to the
