Description

Hi!

I am trying to run a targets workflow on a cluster using the futures.batchtool backend. Since futures.batchtool is an extension of batchtools, I was wondering if I can have some help?

Is there is any way to customize an existing batchtools cluster function (for TORQUE/PBS) with a new job submission command? For some reason, the cluster that we have here is still TORQUE/PBS but the only difference is that the submission command is now mksub instead of qsub.

Thank you very much in advance!

Research direction

Start by reviewing how the TORQUE/PBS cluster function is exposed through batchtools and used by the futures.batchtool backend. Determine whether the existing qsub submission can support the mksub command; done means documenting or implementing a clear way to submit the workflow through that command.
