DESCRIPTION

The helios_job_submit_json command can be used to submit jobs specified in JSON format to a Helios collective from the command line. It is is more or less a substitute for helios_job_submit.pl using JSON instead of Helios's default job argument XML.

OPTIONS

--jobtype

The jobtype of the job. If not specified, helios_job_submit_json will attempt to pull it from the parsed JSON argument string.

--args

The job arguments, in JSON format. If not specified, helios_job_submit_json will read it from STDIN.

--version

Displays the versions of the command, HeliosX::Job::JSON, and the Helios system version.

--help

Displays this help page.

JOB ARGUMENT JSON

Job argument JSON should describe a JSON object:

 {
        "jobtype" : I<Helios jobtype name>,
        "args" : {
                                I<arg1 name> : I<arg1 value>,
                                I<arg2 name> : I<arg2 value>,
                                I<...etc...>
                        }
 }

For example, for a job of type MyService with 2 arguments, filename and thumbnail_size:

 {
        "jobtype" : "MyService",
        "args" : {
                                "filename" : "photo.jpg",
                                "thumbnail_size" : "100x100"
                        }
 }
