qstat
In a large system, users may tend to place excessive load on the system by manual or automated use of resource manager end user client commands. A simple way of reducing this load is through the use of client command wrappers which cache data. The example script below will cache the output of the command 'qstat -f' for 60 seconds and report this info to end users.
#!/bin/sh
# USAGE: qstat $@
CMDPATH=/usr/local/bin/qstat
CACHETIME=60
TMPFILE=/tmp/qstat.f.tmp
if [ "$1" != "-f" ] ; then
#echo "direct check (arg1=$1) "
$CMDPATH $1 $2 $3 $4
exit $?
fi
if [ -n "$2" ] ; then
#echo "direct check (arg2=$2)"
$CMDPATH $1 $2 $3 $4
exit $?
fi
if [ -f $TMPFILE ] ; then
TMPFILEMTIME=`stat -c %Z $TMPFILE`
else
TMPFILEMTIME=0
fi
NOW=`date +%s`
AGE=$(($NOW - $TMPFILEMTIME))
#echo AGE=$AGE
for i in 1 2 3;do
if [ "$AGE" -gt $CACHETIME ] ; then
#echo "cache is stale "
if [ -f $TMPFILE.1 ] ; then
#echo someone else is updating cache
sleep 5
NOW=`date +%s`
TMPFILEMTIME=`stat -c %Z $TMPFILE`
AGE=$(($NOW - $TMPFILEMTIME))
else
break;
fi
fi
done
if [ -f $TMPFILE.1 ] ; then
#echo someone else is hung
rm $TMPFILE.1
fi
if [ "$AGE" -gt $CACHETIME ] ; then
#echo updating cache
$CMDPATH -f > $TMPFILE.1
mv $TMPFILE.1 $TMPFILE
fi
#echo "using cache"
cat $TMPFILE
exit 0
The above script can easily be modified to cache any command and any combination of arguments by changing one or more of the following attributes:
For example, to cache the command pbsnodes -a, make the following changes:
