pw environments create

pw environments create

Create a custom environment on a cluster

Synopsis

The pw environments create command creates a custom compute environment on a cluster, mapping a scheduler partition to an environment that sessions can be scheduled onto.

The cluster can be given as pw://user/cluster for a cluster owned by another user, or as cluster for one of your own.

Wall times are given in the scheduler's own format, for example 24:00:00.
