Description

Hi,
I am curious if I could use batchtools on my local machine and submit jobs through SSH (using BSUB with LSF queueing system) on a remote cluster?

This would be a combination of clusterFunctionLSF and clusterFunctionSSH, but I haven't found such thing implemented yet, right?

I really would like to work on my local machine (in Rstudio) and do the computation on the cluster.
ClusterFunctionSSH is not a solution, because I am not allowed to do computation/memory heavy tasks on the front end (as far as I understood clusterFunctionsSSH together with the worker does not use the queue system, but I might missed something here. ).

Looking forward to your suggestion,
Thanks and Kind Regards,
Attila

Research direction

Start by reviewing the clusterFunctionLSF and clusterFunctionSSH entry points mentioned in the issue, then determine how remote submission and LSF queueing currently interact. Done would require a decided design and either documented support or an implemented, tested combination for submitting jobs from a local RStudio session.
