# spotml run

Schedule a cloud managed **run.** 

```
spotml run <script_name>
```

So if the spotml.yaml file has a script like below configured

```yaml
scripts:
  train: |
    python train.py
```

Then the below command basically queues a managed **run** in the spotML cloud

```
spotml run train
```

The scheduled run It tries to do the following:&#x20;

* If the instance is **not** running - Try spawning the spot instance.
* If a spot instance is not available, retry launching every 15 mins, until spot capacity is available.&#x20;
* If the instance is running - SSH into the session and run the above script.

### Named argument

```
spotml run stop
```

**stop** is a special named argument. If you intend to cancel the scheduled run, use above command.&#x20;

Note that if there is an active running script, you need to manually kill the process by `spotml sh run` and terminate the process. Otherwise the Idle time checker will continue to think there is an active command running.
