Starting the Workflow

After preparing the workflow, it can be started with the command vf_start_joblines.sh.

To start 10 jobs in parallel on a SLURM cluster, the following command can be used (within thetools directory):

./vf_start_jobline.sh 1 10 templates/template1.slurm.sh submit 1

If your cluster uses another batch system, you need to use the corresponding job template. We use a delay time of 1 only because we are submitting a small number of jobs. When larger number of jobs are submitted, a larger delay time can be useful to avoid that too many jobs try to access the central task list at the beginning at the same time.

[For more information about starting the workflow in general, see the corresponding section in the documentation.]
