	DOCUMENTATION

	About output:
		The output of the job is NEVER sent by email because the -o {output} is allways given.
		LaunchQsub ONLY uses the -o {output} option, meaning that the standard error of the job is stored in the output file.

	Dotkit inheritance:
		LaunchQsub does not issue any dotkit commands (e.g reuse -q Python-2.7) so the SHELL calling LaunchQsub is responsible for having loaded the correct dotkits
		The dotkits from the calling shell SHOULD be inherited to the qsub command.
		*** Disclaimer #1: using a TMUX session may conflict with this so check 'echo $PATH' before you submit the jobs.
		*** Disclaimer #2: the qsub command is called as a subprocess.Popen(..., shell=True) which hopefully inherits the dotkit
		See more on https://it.broadinstitute.org/wiki/Dotkit

	- path_stdout:
		- sets the PATH for the stdout/stderr (output file) from qsub. (this path is also used for the logger if no logger is given)
		- DEFAULT: os.getcwd()
	- file_output:
		- sets the FILENAME of the stdout/stderr (output file) from qsub.
		- RECOMMENDATION: leave this input BLANK. LaunchQsub will set a sensable filename like 'qsub_outfile_IDXX_jobnameYY.out'
		- DEFAULT: 'qsub_outfile_IDXX_jobnameYY.out'
	- no_output: 
		- if this value is set to true, then the stdout and stderr is written to /dev/null.
	- email: 
		- parse an email address to this argument. The user MUST set email_status_notification or email_report to 'True' for any email to be sent
		- DEFAULT: None
		- Example: email='*****@*****.**'
		* email_status_notification:
			if enabled, you will receive email notification when the job starts/stops. 
		* email_report:
			if enabled, the JOB REPORT is sent by email and NOT written to the stdout file.
	- logger:
		- if no logger (a object of the class 'Logging') is parsed, then LaunchQsub creates a log file in path_stdout (os.getcwd by default) with a name like 'LauchQsub_NoLoggerParsed_2014-05-15_23.08.59.log' (notice that LauchQsub sets the timestamp itself)
	- cmd_custom:
		- if any true value (in a boolean context) is given then the cmd_custom COMPLETELY overwrites the other settings
		- RECOMMENDATION: when using cmd_custom, instantiate the LaunchQsub object with 'None' in ALL other arguments

	## Queues
	- queue_name
	- app:
		application profile
		string. 
		shortjobs [max runtime = 15.0 min]
		supershortjobs [max runtime = 1 min] 
		HINT: "bapp -l" will list the application profiles available
	
	## RESOURCES
	- proc: ["min_proc"] or ["min_proc,max_proc"]
		min_proc[,max_proc].
		parallel job and specifies the number of processors required to run the job
		this sets the $LSB_DJOB_NUMPROC
		EXAMPLE:
			"2"		: two processes/slots/CPUs
			"2,4"	: between two and four processes/slots/CPUs
	- mem: memory reserved (for the whole job) in GB
		sets -R "rusage[mem=mem]"
	- runlimit: [hh:mm] string OR [mm] string
		-W [hour:]minute
		Set the wall-clock run time limit of this batch job. RUNLIMIT==WALLTIME.
		the maximum time the job can have the status "running". This is a HARD LIMIT
		EXAMPLE:
			"3:30"	a run_limit of 3 and a half hours.
			"210"	a run_limit of 3 and a half hours.
	- shared_mem: OWN flag
		sets -R 'span[hosts=1]'
		use this for multithreaded SMP jobs: You always want to use this with SMP jobs!
