Here is an Perl example of a typical job front end that can handle a job that is based on frames.
Example
use lib ../api/perl; use qb;
my %env = %ENV;
my $frames = qb::genframes("1-300");
my $data = {
"env" = \%env,
"cmdline" = /bin/sleep . int(rand(40) + 1) };
my $job = {
"name" => "Frame Job", "priority" => 1, "prototype" => "frame", "branch" => "/",
"cpus" => 20,
"data" => $data,
"work" => $frames
};
my @jobs = qb::submit($job); for my $job (@jobs) {
print "submitted job - id: ", $job->{id}, "\n"; }
Initially set the path to the API library, and load the API module. Every job contains a copy of the user's environment variables. These variables can be manipulated, if necessary.
