= Remote job submission =

"Remote job submission" means that jobs are submitted
by scripts or programs running outside the BOINC server;
they need not have login access to the BOINC server.
The scripts use [RemoteJobs Web RPCs] to create batches and jobs, and to manage input and output files.

Remote job submission differs from local submission in several ways:

 * A job submitters must have a user account on the BOINC project.
   Their submissions are associated with that account, and must supply its credentials.
   Users must be granted [MultiUser access rights and quotas] in order to create jobs.
 * Jobs are submitted and controlled in "batches".
   If you want to submit a single job, submit a batch with one element.
 * Don't use an assimilator for remote jobs;
   Instead, use the "retire batch" operation to tell that the batch's
   file and database records can be cleaned up.
 * Job submitters can monitor and control their batches and jobs via
   an interface on the BOINC project web site.

== Example: Science portal ==

Users submit jobs using forms on a web site outside the BOINC server.

== Example: Condor/BOINC bridge ==

Users submit jobs to a Condor system using a command-line or GUI-based interface.
The Condor system routes the job to a BOINC project.
