Mixed configuration

From VoxBoWiki

Conceivably you might want to force VoxBo to let you use it as a single user, even though you're on a machine that's part of a VoxBo cluster. Perhaps you want to use a different version, or perhaps you have your own mysterious reasons. Most VoxBo utilities don't care where the software is installed. But the queue management — the components for submitting and monitoring jobs — do care. You want your jobs to be submitted to your private queue, not the cluster queue.

VoxBo looks in four places for your VoxBo directory:

• the value of the environment variable VOXBO_USERDIR
• HOME/.voxbo
• HOME/voxbo
• HOME/VoxBo

If it finds one of these, you can have a single-user configuration. But if there's a cluster queue, it will still be the default. In order to tell VoxBo you want to use it as a single user, create a file in your VoxBo/etc directory called single. If that file exists, then your personal queue will be used instead of the global one when you submit jobs, and you can use vbsingle to manipulate your queue. To return to using the cluster, just delete the file.

Again, to switch to single user mode, do:

touch $HOME/VoxBo/etc/single

To go back to using the cluster queue, do:

rm $HOME/VoxBo/etc/single
