   \frametitle{Steering by Unix Environment Variables}
   \footnotesize
   Most features of PALM are controlled by the parameter file but a few are exclusively controlled by unix environment variables. The most important one is  {\tt write\_binary}. \\
   Setting \\
   \begin{centering} {\tt write\_binary = true} \end{centering} \\
   within the shell causes PALM to write binary data for restart runs at the end of a run.
   
   Setting of these environment variables is automatically done by  mrun. It generates a local file (named {\tt ENVPAR}) in FORTRAN-NAMELIST-format, which is then read by PALM. This file
   includes the following variables: \\
 
   \tiny
   \begin{tabular}{|p{3cm}|p{5cm}|p{2cm}|} \hline
      \textbf{Variable}                 & \textbf{Meaning} & \textbf{Value set by {\tt mrun}-option} \\
      \hline
      {\tt host}                        & host identifier that mrun is using for the host on which the job is running & {\tt -h}    \\
      {\tt maximum\_cpu\_time\_allowed} & cpu time allowed for the job                                                & {\tt -t}    \\
      {\tt run\_identifier}             & identification string for the run    & {\tt -d}    \\
      {\tt tasks\_per\_node}            & number of MPI tasks to be started on each node     & {\tt -T}     \\
      {\tt write\_binary}               & switch for writing binary data to be used for restart runs     & {\tt -r} (+setting in configuration file {\tt .mrun.config)}       \\
