The mail address receives job notification messages (for example, mail when the job starts, stops, or aborts). By default, the mail address is the Event Log on the system from which the job was submitted.
To view the event log:
-
Start Event Viewer from the Administrative Tools group.
-
Select Application from the Log menu.
To view the event log of the system where the job executed, start the event viewer
application, and select "Select Computer" from the "Log" menu. Key in the name of
the system where the job executed.
Note that you must select the Refresh option from the View menu to view any new mail.
You can also use the MAIL= environment variable to specify a default mail addresses other than the default provided by Batch Services. There are two methods for using the MAIL environment variable:
To use a default mail address for a single job from the command line:
Key in set MAIL=address at the command prompt before submitting the job with the qsub command, where address is the address you want to use.
To use a default mail address with the Batch Manager GUI, or for all jobs at the command line:
-
Select the System icon from the Control Panel.
-
Key in MAIL in the Variable box.
-
Key in the address you want to use in the Value box.
-
Select Set.
-
Log out and log back in for these changes to take effect.
