Using Scripts to Run Apple Qmaster, Compressor, and

Batch Monitor

To simplify your use of the command line, you can add command-line friendly scripts to

/usr/bin. Each script sets an ENV variable for location and then executes the binary. Using

the following scripts would be useful if you frequently use the command line for

submissions or automated submissions. You do not need to specify the full path, and

you can add frequently used ENV variables and options to speed up the submission

process. To run Apple Qmaster, Compressor, or Batch Monitor, you can simply open up

a terminal and type qmaster, compressor, or batchmonitor.

Apple Qmaster Script Example

#!/bin/csh -f

# set env var, QMASTER_LOCATION if not set

if ${? QMASTER_LOCATION} == 0 then

pushd `dirname $0` >& /dev/null

setenv QMASTER_LOCATION /Applications/Apple\ Qmaster

popd >& /dev/null

endif

# launch qmaster

exec ${QMASTER_LOCATION}/Apple\ Qmaster.app/Contents/MacOS/Apple\ Qmaster

$argv:q
