miser(1)

NAME
     miser - Miser resource manager

SYNOPSIS
     miser [-vd] -c maxCPUs -m maxMemory -f configFile | -C

DESCRIPTION
     Miser starts the miser daemon.  Miser is a deterministic batch scheduling
     facility that can be used to balance batch and interactive cpu and memory
     usage.

OPTIONS
     Valid options are:

     -v   Verbose.  This option results in additional output.  It is useful in
          conjunction with the -d option to help in diagnosing Miser
          configuration problems.

     -d   This option requests debug output.  Miser does not relinquish the
          terminal. With this option turned on output is directed to screen
          instead of system log.

     -c maxCPUs
          This is the maximum number of CPUs that miser can use.  It is also
          the maximum number of CPUs that any resource segment of the system
          queue can reserve.

     -m maxMemory
          This is the maximum amount of memory that miser can use.  It is also
          the maximum memory that any resource segment of the system queue can
          reserve. Memory reserved for miser is allocated from physical
          memory.  The amount of memory that miser use, should be less than
          the total physical memory leaving enough memory for kernel use.
          Also, it is recommended that the system should have at least the
          amount of swap space as configured for miser, so that if miser
          memory is in full use, system will have enough swap space to move
          previous non miser submitted processes out of the way.

     -f configFile
          This option specifies the location of the configuration file.

     -C   This option can be used to release any miser reserved resources
          after miser daemon is killed and before it is restarted.
