qsub in HPC

I am relatively new to the HPC and was trying to figure out what the below command performs in HPC

qsub -q highmem.q -l h=node22 -pe smp 10 -N mRNAseq -hold_jid mapping -cwd bash.sh

I figured out the following

-q highmem.q : submit job to high memory queue

-pe smp 10: use parallel env smp and reserve 10 slots

-N mRNAseq: job name

-l h=node22 : use node22 (probably)

-cwd : In the current working directory

But not sure about the -hold_jid

Can anyone please let me know what the above command functions too?

Thanks in advance

With -hold_jid mapping, you are telling SGE to wait until the job mapping finishes to start running the job being submitted.
