Jobs can be set up to automatically e-mail the job's owner when the job has completed. This is enabled on a per-job basis. It is also possible to send e-mail to any other address. This is specified in the job's address field. Emails are sent from the Supervisor, so it must have that ability enabled.
Configuration
Email is configured via variables in the qb.conf file, specifically:
| Variable | Controls |
|---|---|
| mail_administrator | |
| mail_domain | |
| mail_from | |
| mail_host | |
| mail_job_status_format | |
| mail_license_status_format | |
| mail_port | |
| mail_subjob_status_format | |
| mail_work_status_format |
Examples
E-mail job owner when the job is done.
% qbsub --flags mail ls
Email a specific address
