As an example, to copy a directory tree from /home/bst/bob/src to /dcs01/bob/dst, first, create a cluster script, let’s call it “copy-job“, that contains the line:
rsync -avzh /home/bst/bob/src/ /dcs01/bob/dst/
Next, submit a batch job to the cluster
qsub -cwd -m e -M bob@jhu.edu copy-job
This will submit the “copy-job” script to the cluster, which will run the job on one of the compute nodes, and send an email when it finishes.
