qq sync

The qq sync command fetches files from a job's working directory to its input directory. It is qq's equivalent of Infinity's psync.

Quick comparison with psync

  • Unlike psync, qq sync fetches all files from the working directory by default.
  • You can use qq sync with a job ID to fetch files from the job's working directory to its input directory without having to actually navigate to its input directory.
  • If you want to fetch only specific files, you cannot select them interactively — you must provide a list of filenames when running qq sync.

Description

Fetches files from the working directory of the specified qq job, or from the working directory of the job submitted from the current directory.

qq sync [OPTIONS] JOB_ID

JOB_ID — Identifier of the job whose working directory files should be fetched. This argument is optional.

If JOB_ID is not provided, qq sync searches for qq jobs in the current directory. If multiple suitable jobs are found, qq sync fetches files from each one in turn. Files fetched from later jobs may overwrite files from earlier ones in the input directory.

Files are copied from the job's working directory to its input directory, not to the current directory.

Options

-f, --files TEXT — A colon-, comma-, or space-separated list of files and directories to fetch. If not specified, the entire content of the working directory is fetched.

Examples

qq sync 123456

Fetches all files from the working directory of the job with ID 123456 to that job's input directory. You can use either the short job ID or the full ID including the batch server address. This only works if the specified job is a qq job with a valid and accessible info file, and if the batch server and main node are reachable from the current machine.

qq sync

Fetches all files from the working directories of all jobs whose info files are present in the current directory.

qq sync 123456 -f file1.txt,file2.txt,file3.txt

Fetches file1.txt, file2.txt, and file3.txt from the working directory of the job with ID 123456 to its input directory. All other files are ignored. Missing files are skipped without error.
