Use with Schedulers

Using CATS with the at scheduler

You can use CATS with the at job scheduler by running:

$ cats -d <job_duration> --loc <postcode> --scheduler at --command '<command>'

As an example, if you want to schedule a run of ls with a 5 minute duration, in the ‘OX1’ postcode that would look like:

$ cats -d 5 --loc OX1 --scheduler at --command 'ls'

Using CATS with the sbatch scheduler

CATS provides a wrapper around sbatch to enable deferring job execution till the optimal start time:

$ cats -d <job_duration> --loc <postcode> --scheduler sbatch --command ./script.sh
