How to create a job

The API allows the creation of jobs using a Job object. This example shows how to create a "sleep" job:

>>> from drm4g.api import Job, DRM4G
>>> job = Job()
>>> job.set_name( "Template sleep" )
>>> job.set_executable( "/bin/sleep" )
>>> job.set_arguments( "1" )
>>> job.set_np( 1 )

How to submit a job

To submit a job use the "submit" method of the DRM4G object:

>>> drm4g = DRM4G()
>>> job_id = drm4g.submit( job )
>>> print job_id
0

How to monitor a job

Once you have submitted a job, you can use the "status" method to keep track of your job:

>>> status = drm4g.status( job_id  )
>>> print status
{'EM': '----', 'DM': 'done', 'END': '13:02:58', 'EXEC': '0:00:06', 'START': '13:02:49', 'HOST': 'localmachine/fork', 'EXIT': '0', 'XFER': '0:00:00'}

To obtain more information about classes and methods use the help() function ( e.g. help(Job) )
