This a quick reference for LTM commands.
LACE Tas Manager (LTM) is a scheduler for LINUX clusters.


COMMAND: ltmsuper
DESCRIPTION: ltmsuper is used to start user supervisor daemon
FORM: ltmsuper


COMMAND: ltmbegin
                    

DESCRIPTION: ltmbegin is used to start a cluster session


FORM: ltmbegin [-S <name>] [-n<n>] [-m<n>] [-h<n>]
Option: -S <name> -- alternate name of session
Option: -n<n> -- number of nodes
