NAME

LSF::Queue - get information about LSF queues.

SYNOPSIS

use LSF::Queue;

use LSF::Queue PRINT => 1;

$qinfo = LSF::Queue->new( [QUEUE_NAME] );

@qinfo = LSF::Queue->new();

DESCRIPTION

LSF::Queue is a wrapper arround the LSF 'bqueues' command used to obtain information about job queues. The hash keys of the object are LSF submission and control parameters. See the 'bqueues' man page for more information.

CONSTRUCTOR

new( [ [QUEUE_NAME] ] );

With a valid queue name, reates a new LSF::JobInfo object. Without a queue name returns a list of LSF::Queue objects for all the queues in the system. Arguments are the LSF parameters normally passed to 'bqueues'

BUGS

Please report them. The parsing of LSF output is particularly unsafe if job and group names with non-alphanumeric characters are used. You probably shouldn't be doing this anyway.

HISTORY

The LSF::Batch module on cpan didn't compile easily on all platforms i wanted. The LSF API didn't seem very perlish either. As a quick fix I knocked these modules together which wrap the LSF command line interface. It was enough for my simple usage. Hopefully they work in a much more perly manner.
