Hi Dan,
There's two common ways of doing this:
1) Use the '%s' suffix on the "logdir" command during submit,
and that will be expanded to be the jobid on submit, and rush
will create the dir for you. Details here:
http://www.seriss.com/rush-current/rush/rush-submit-cmds.html#LogDir
- OR -
2) Submit the job in the /pause/ state, get the jobid,
create the dir, assign the job the new logdir with "rush -logdir"
and then unpause the job with "rush -cont"
#1 is probably the best approach, and certainly easiest.
So for instance:
rush -submit << EOF
..
logdir /some/path/%s
..
EOF
..assuming the directory "/some/path/" exists, rush will expand
the %s to the jobid, and then run a mkdir() command to create
the subdir before the job actually starts running.
The logic for this %s expansion and mkdir() is all in the
rush core, not the submit scripts.
So what you can do is in the MAIN_Submit() section of the script,
you can modify the code that determines the "LogDir" default
(which is normally to create it based on the scene filename)
and use your own path with the '%s' added instead.
Warning: jobids are recycled, so they aren't guaranteed to
be unique once a job is dumped.
The other way to do it would be to submit the job in the paused
state, eg:
rush -submit << EOF
..
state pause
..
EOF
.. that get your jobid after it submits while the job is paused,
do your directory creation logic with the jobid in the submit script,
change the logdir with 'rush -logdir /new/path/whatever', then use
'rush -cont <JOBID>' to kick the job running.
I think the %s technique is easier though.. but depends on what
you want in your directory logic.
