No worries. These are actually good questions! > I run a bot cronned on Tool Labs and I'm using a syntax like "jsub -N > jobname -l release=trusty (...)". Should I continue to add that "-l > release=trusty" on the cron and the jobs I submit to the grid? Yes, we recommend keeping the "-l release=trusty" in the command. The jsub process will currently give a warning on stderr if no "-l release=..." argument is present. Setting "-l release=trusty" is the same as the default today, but it will keep you from seeing that nag message. > You also mention jsub. I wonder that jobs with jstart are also affected and > thus the same -l release=trusty ain't needed anymore? The jsub, jstart, and qcronsub commands are all actually the same program, so the "-l release=trusty" advice applies to any of them that you may be using. The only difference between these three names is default arguments: * jstart ... == jsub -continuous -once ... * qcronsub ... == jsub -once ...
