=head1 NAME

HPC::Runner::Scheduler - Base Library for HPC::Runner::Slurm and HPC::Runner::PBS

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    pbsrunner.pl/slurmrunner.pl/mcerunner.pl --infile list_of_commands

=head1 DESCRIPTION

HPC::Runner::Scheduler is a base library for creating templates of HPC Scheduler (Slurm, PBS, etc) submission scripts.

All the scheduler variables: memory, cpus, nodes, partitions/queues, are abstracted to a template. Instead of writing an entire submission template

    slurmrunner.pl --infile list_of_commands #with list of optional parameters

Please see the indepth usage guide at L<HPC::Runner::Usage>

=head1 User Options

User options can be passed to the script with script --opt1 or in a configfile. It uses MooseX::SimpleConfig for the commands

=head2 configfile

Config file to pass to command line as --configfile /path/to/file. It should be a yaml or xml (untested)
This is optional. Paramaters can be passed straight to the command line

=head3 example.yml

    ---
    infile: "/path/to/commands/testcommand.in"
    outdir: "path/to/testdir"
    module:
        - "R2"
        - "shared"

=cut

has '+configfile' => (
    required => 0,
    documentation =>
        q{If you get tired of putting all your options on the command line create a config file instead.
        ---
        infile: "/path/to/commands/testcommand.in"
        outdir: "path/to/testdir"
        module:
                - "R2"
                - "shared"
        }
);

=head2 infile

infile of commands separated by newline

=head3 example.in

    cmd1
    cmd2 --input --input \
    --someotherinput
    wait
    #Wait tells slurm to make sure previous commands have exited with exit status 0.
    cmd3  ##very heavy job
    newnode
    #cmd3 is a very heavy job so lets start the next job on a new node

=cut

=head2 module

modules to load with slurm
Should use the same names used in 'module load'

Example. R2 becomes 'module load R2'

=cut
