MiniQ: Lightweight Mock Batch Queue for Local Testing

Requirements

• Python 3.7
• Pipenv

Installation

pipenv install -e .

The following commands are added to your PATH:

1. miniq-server
2. qsub
3. qstat
4. qdel

Start Server

First, you must start the server.

It might be convenient to start it as a persistent, detached background process, for instance:

$ nohup miniq-server >& miniq.log < /dev/null &
[2] 38715

$ disown %2

You can set the environment variable MINIQ_PORT if you wish to run the server on a port other than 9876.
