2.2 Submit a Nitro Job using the nitrosub Command

This topic is applicable for static and dynamic jobs. Alternatively, for static jobs, you can submit the jobs using a customized nitro_job.sh script and the resource manager's submit command (for example, Torque's qsub). See 2.3 Submit a Nitro Job with User-Customized Job Scripts for more information.

Do the following:

Obtain the required information:
- how many resources (nodes or cores) you will need; this can be a static amount or a range (used for dynamic jobs).
  Contact your system administrator to determine which resource type is applicable for your configuration.
- the time limit for the execution (wall-time)
- location of your task file
Determine if you want any additional information included:
- whether a worker will reside on the same host as the coordinator
- a job ID for the job
- a job directory for recording job information
- any customized environment variables
Submit the Nitro job. The following example is for a dynamic job requesting 4-10 hosts, with a walltime of 30 minutes.
```
$ nitrosub --resources=4-10--wall-time=30:00--task-file=mytasks.txt
```
