Directly pass parameters to pbs script

The qsub utility can read the script from the standard input, so by using a here document you can create scripts on the fly, dynamically:

#!/bin/sh

for i in `seq 1 10`
do
    cat <<EOS | qsub -
#!/bin/sh

#PBS -V
#PBS -S /bin/sh
#PBS -N pass_test
#PBS -l nodes=1:ppn=1,walltime=00:02:00
#PBS -M [email protected]

cd /scratch/XXXXXX/pass_test

./run_test $i
EOS
done

Personally, I would use a more compact version:

#!/bin/sh

for i in `seq 1 10`
do
    cat <<EOS | qsub -V -S /bin/sh -N pass_test -l nodes=1:ppn=1,walltime=00:02:00 -M [email protected] -
cd /scratch/XXXXXX/pass_test
./run_test $i
EOS
done

You can use the -F option, as described here:

-F

Specifies the arguments that will be passed to the job script when the script is launched. The accepted syntax is:

qsub -F "myarg1 myarg2 myarg3=myarg3value" myscript2.sh

Note: Quotation marks are required. qsub will fail with an error message if the argument following -F is not a quoted value. The pbs_mom server will pass the quoted value as arguments to the job script when it launches the script.
