C.2. Additional Scripts - Background Information

The following files may exist when you prepare the job from the Forte User Interface but not from the Command Line Interface. This section is background information only, since these scripts are only used by the Forte User Interface when it runs jobs.

  • run_selected_mpi.bat/run_selected_mpi.sh

    —Run one job for Windows / Linux system.

  • copy_restart_files.bat/copy_restart_files.sh

    —Copy any restart-related files into the Run directories.

  • queue_runner.bat/queue_runner.sh

    —Used by the Forte User Interface when it is running the jobs and any restart files are copied. The queue_runner examines all the subdirectories looking for PREPARED and SELECTED flag files and submitting the corresponding run script in the Run directory. When you specify running multiple jobs at the same time, Nqueue_runner script instances are started, where N is the number of jobs that you want run at the same time. The default is to run the jobs sequentially, which results in only 1 queue_runnerscript being executed.

These scripts also exist when a parameter study has been prepared by the Forte User Interface and you should not directly invoke them in that situation because they depend on some prerequisite processing by the parameter-study master script.
