parameter for shell scripts that is started with qsub

how can I parametrize a shell script that is executed on a grid (started with qsub) ? I have a shell script, where I use getopts to read the parameters.

When I start (qsub script.sh -r firstparam -s secondparam ..) this working script with qsub I receive error messages,

qsub: invalid option -- s

qsub: illegal -r value

as qsub thinks the parameter are for itself. Yet I have not found any solution.

Thanks

Solution

  • I just figured out how to solve it: just print the commands of the shell scrip with echo and pipe the result to qsub:

    echo "./script.sh var1=13 var2=24" | qsub
