Pass command line arguments via sbatch

Question

Suppose that I have the following simple bash script which I want to submit to a batch server through SLURM:

#!/bin/bash

#SBATCH -o \"outFile\"$1\".txt\"
#SBATC         


        

Answer 1

This is an old question but I just stumbled into the same task and I think this solution is simpler:

Let's say I have the variable $OUT_PATH in the bash script launch_analysis.bash and I want to pass this variable to task_0_generate_features.sl which is my SLURM file to send the computation to a batch server. I would have the following in launch_analysis.bash:

`sbatch --export=OUT_PATH=$OUT_PATH task_0_generate_features.sl`

Which is directly accessible in task_0_generate_features.sl

In @Jason case we would have:

sbatch -D `pwd` --export=hostname=$hostname exampleJob.sh
