Predefined queues:

*Default*

The “*Default” should always be there and is the default queue that flair will use. The predefined program is the “nohup” (no hangup) a unix system program that detaches the process from its parent and redirects all its output to the nohup.out

Local

Spawn job locally as a child of flair. Closing of flair will kill the process. Not like nohup

Nohup

Equivalent to *Default* unless changed

null

Don’t do any run, simply generate all necessary files and commands, so they can be used for other cases.

tsp

task spooler. A small unix program (not installed on systems by default), creating a simple queue based spooler for a multi-core machine. Useful if you want to run multiple runs in sequential order and utilize all cores without exceeding the number of jobs > number of cores.
