OPTIONS

-C - Commands-only execution. Prism displays a prompt from which you can issue any Prism commands. If you use this option, you don't need an X terminal or workstation.

-CX - Commands-only execution with output. Start a version of Prism that uses commands-only execution (like -C), but in which the output of certain Prism commands can be sent to X windows.

-n [ or -np] nprocs - Start nprocs processes of the executable program. Without this argument, prism starts a single process. Specify 0 (zero) to indicate that you want to start one process on each available node.

-W - Start as many processes as the -n argument specifies, even when the number of processes exceeds the number of processors. The default is to launch one process per processor.

Xoption - Apply X toolkit option. The prism command accepts all standard X toolkit options. However, the -font, -title, and -rv options have no effect, and the -bg option is overridden in part by the setting of the Prism.textBgColor resource. X toolkit options are meaningless, of course, if you use -C to run Prism in commands-only mode.

Options for Prism in the LSF Environment:

-bsubargs "option [option]..." - Start the executable program using the specified bsub options. Using the -bsubargs option implies -n and starts MP Prism. If the bsub option itself uses quotation marks, refer to the documentation for your shell program for the syntax for handling quotes.

-q queue - Start the executable program in the specified queue. Without this argument, Prism starts the program in the default queue. Using the -q option implies MP Prism.

Options for Prism in the CRE Environment:

-mprunargs "option [option]..." - Start the executable program, using the specified mprun options. -mprunargs implies -n, and starts MP Prism. If the mprun option itself uses quotation marks, refer to the documentation for your shell program for the syntax for handling quotes.

-c cluster - Start the executable program on the specified cluster. Using this option implies -n, and starts MP Prism. The cluster overrides the value of the CRE SUNHPC_CLUSTER environment vari able.

-p partition - Start the executable program on the specified partition. Using this option implies -n, and starts MP Prism. The partition overrides the value of the CRE SUNHPC_PART environment variable.
