Preparing for Remote Job Submission (DEPRECATED)

Schrödinger products use a common Job Control facility, which allows the user to submit, monitor, suspend and terminate jobs. The Job Control facility is described in detail in the Job Control Guide — Contents (JOB CONTROL IS DEPRECATED). To run jobs on the local host only, no additional configuration is needed, but you should test your installation as described in Testing Remote / Queue Job Submissions.

To run jobs on remote hosts, run distributed jobs, run jobs on remote hosts, or submit jobs to batch queues you must first set up the hosts file, schrodinger.hosts. This task is described in The Hosts File. Next, you must enable access to these remote hosts using the ssh command (or equivalent) without specifying a password (see Setting Up Access to Remote Hosts). For batch queues, additional configuration is needed (see Preparing for Batch Queue Submission), and for some queueing systems, it is also possible to set up license checking (Setting Up License Checking for Queueing Systems (DEPRECATED)). If you plan to submit jobs to a cluster, you may need to perform some configuration (Configuring Clusters). Finally, you should check the installation and connections (Testing Remote / Queue Job Submissions).

Note: The remote host must be a Linux host. Submitting jobs to a remote Windows or Mac host is not supported.
