     DESCRIPTION
	  To create a job is to	submit an executable script to a batch
	  server.  The batch server will be the	default	server unless
	  the -q option	is specified.  See discussion of PBS_DEFAULT
	  under	Environment Variables below.  Typically, the script is
	  a shell script which will be executed	by a command shell
	  such as sh or	csh.

	  Options on the qsub command allow the	specification of
	  attributes which affect the behavior of the job.

	  The qsub command will	pass certain environment variables in
	  the Variable_List attribute of the job.  These variables
	  will be available to the job.	 The value for the following
	  variables will be taken from the environment of the qsub
	  command: HOME, LANG, LOGNAME,	PATH, MAIL, SHELL, and TZ.
	  These	values will be assigned	to a new name which is the
	  current name prefixed	with the string	"PBS_O_".  For
	  example, the job will	have access to an environment variable
	  named	PBS_O_HOME which have the value	of the variable	HOME
	  in the qsub command environment.

	  In addition to the above, the	following environment
	  variables will be available to the batch job.

	  PBS_O_HOST
	       the name	of the host upon which the qsub	command	is
	       running.

	  PBS_O_QUEUE
	       the name	of the original	queue to which the job was
	       submitted.

	  PBS_O_WORKDIR
	       the absolute path of the	current	working	directory of
	       the qsub	command.

	  PBS_ENVIRONMENT
	       set to PBS_BATCH	to indicate the	job is a batch job, or
	       to PBS_INTERACTIVE to indicate the job is a PBS
	       interactive job,	see -I option.

	  PBS_JOBID
	       the job identifier assigned to the job by the batch
	       system.

	  PBS_JOBNAME
	       the job name supplied by	the user.

	  PBS_NODEFILE
	       the name	of the file contain the	list of	nodes assigned
	       to the job (for parallel	and cluster systems).

	  PBS_QUEUE
	       the name	of the queue from which	the job	is executed.

     OPTIONS
	  -a date_time
		  Declares the time after which	the job	is eligible
		  for execution.

		  The date_time	argument is in the form:
		  [[[[CC]YY]MM]DD]hhmm[.SS]

		  Where	CC is the first	two digits of the year (the
		  century), YY is the second two digits	of the year,
		  MM is	the two	digits for the month, DD is the	day of
		  the month, hh	is the hour, mm	is the minute, and the
		  optional SS is the seconds.

		  If the month,	MM, is not specified, it will default
		  to the current month if the specified	day DD,	is in
		  the future.  Otherwise, the month will be set	to
		  next month.  Likewise, if the	day, DD, is not
		  specified, it	will default to	today if the time hhmm
		  is in	the future.  Otherwise,	the day	will be	set to
		  tomorrow.  For example, if you sumit a job at
		  11:15am with a time of -a 1110, the job will be
		  eligable to run at 11:10am tomorrow.

	  -A account_string
		  Defines the account string associated	with the job.
		  The account_string is	an undefined string of
		  characters and is interpreted	by the server which
		  executes the job.  See section 2.7.1 of the PBS ERS.

	  -c interval
		  Defines the interval at which	the job	will be
		  checkpointed.	 If the	job executes upon a host which
		  does not support checkpoint, this option will	be
		  ignored.

		  The interval argument	is specified as:

		  n  No	checkpointing is to be performed.

		  s  Checkpointing is to be performed only when	the
		     server executing the job is shutdown.

		  c  Checkpointing is to be performed at the default
		     minimum time for the server executing the job.

		  c=minutes
		     Checkpointing is to be performed at an interval
		     of	minutes, which is the integer number of
		     minutes of	CPU time used by the job.  This	value
		     must be greater than zero.

	  -C directive_prefix
		  Defines the prefix that declares a directive to the
		  qsub command within the script file.	See the
		  paragraph on script directives in the	Extended
		  Description section.

		  If the -C option is presented	with a
		  directive_prefix argument that is the	null string,
		  qsub will not	scan the script	file for directives.

	  -e path Defines the path to be used for the standard error
		  stream of the	batch job.  The	path argument is of
		  the form:
		      [hostname:]path_name
		  where	hostname is the	name of	a host to which	the
		  file will be returned	and path_name is the path name
		  on that host in the syntax recognized	by POSIX.  The
		  argument will	be interpreted as follows:

		  path_name
		       Where path_name is not an absolute path name,
		       then the	qsub command will expand the path name
		       relative	to the current working directory of
		       the command.  The command will supply the name
		       of the host upon	which it is executing for the
		       hostname	component.

		  hostname:path_name
		       Where path_name is not an absolute path name,
		       then the	qsub command will not expand the path
		       name relative to	the current working directory
		       of the command.	On delivery of the standard
		       error, the path name will be expanded relative
		       to the user's home directory on the hostname
		       system.

		  path_name
		       Where path_name specifies an absolute path
		       name, then the qsub will	supply the name	of the
		       host on which it	is executing for the hostname.

		  hostname:path_name
		       Where path_name specifies an absolute path
		       name, the path will be used as specified.

		  If the -e option is not specified, the default file
		  name for the standard	error stream will be used.
		  The default name has the following form:
		      job_name.esequence_number
		  where	job_name is the	name of	the job, see -n
		  option, and sequence_number is the job number
		  assigned when	the job	is submitted.

	  -h	  Specifies that a user	hold be	applied	to the job at
		  submission time.

	  -I	  Declares that	the job	is to be run "interactively".
		  The job will be queued and scheduled as any PBS
		  batch	job, but when executed,	the standard input,
		  output, and error streams of the job are connected
		  through qsub to the terminal session in which	qsub
		  is running.  See the "Extended Description"
		  paragraph for	addition information of	interactive
		  jobs.

	  -j join Declares if the standard error stream	of the job
		  will be merged with the standard output stream of
		  the job.

		  An option argument value of oe directs that the two
		  streams will be merged, intermixed, as standard
		  output.  An option argument value of eo directs that
		  the two streams will be merged, intermixed, as
		  standard error.

		  If the join argument is n or the option is not
		  specified, the two streams will be two separate
		  files.

	  -k keep Defines which	(if either) of standard	output or
		  standard error will be retained on the execution
		  host.	 If set	for a stream, this option overrides
		  the path name	for that stream.  If not set, neither
		  stream is retained on	the execution host.

		  The argument is either the single letter "e" or "o",
		  or the letters "e" and "o" combined in either	order.
		  Or the argument is the letter	n.

		  e  The standard error	stream is to retained on the
		     execution host.  The  stream will be placed in
		     the home directory	of the user under whose	user
		     id	the job	executed.  The file name will be the
		     default file name given by:  job_name.esequence
		     where job_name is the name	specified for the job,
		     and sequence is the sequence number component of
		     the job identifier.

		  o  The standard output stream	is to retained on the
		     execution host.  The  stream will be placed in
		     the home directory	of the user under whose	user
		     id	the job	executed.  The file name will be the
		     default file name given by: job_name.osequence
		     where job_name is the name	specified for the job,
		     and sequence is the sequence number component of
		     the job identifier.

		  eo Both the standard output and standard error
		     streams will be retained.

		  oe Both the standard output and standard error
		     streams will be retained.

		  n  Neither stream is retained.

	  -l resource_list
		  Defines the resources	that are required by the job
		  and establishes a limit to the amount	of resource
		  that can be consumed.	 If not	set for	a generally
		  available resource, such as CPU time,	the limit is
		  infinite.  The resource_list argument	is of the
		  form:
		      resource_name[=[value]]
		      [,resource_name[=[value]],...]

	  -m mail_options
		  Defines the set of conditions	under which the
		  execution server will	send a mail message about the
		  job.	The mail_options argument is a string which
		  consists of either the single	character "n", or one
		  or more of the characters "a", "b", and "e".

		  If the character "n" is specified, no	mail will be
		  sent.

		  For the letters "a", "b", and	"e":

		  a  mail is sent when the job is aborted by the batch
		     system.

		  b  mail is sent when the job begins execution.

		  e  mail is sent when the job terminates.
		  If the -m option is not specified, mail will be sent
		  if the job is	aborted.

	  -N name Declares a name for the job.	The name specified may
		  be up	to and including 15 characters in length.  It
		  must consist of printable characters with the	first
		  character alphabetic.

		  If the -N option is not specified, the job name will
		  be the base name of the job script file specified on
		  the command line.  If	no script file name was
		  specified and	the script was read from the standard
		  input, then the job name will	be set to STDIN.

	  -o path Defines the path to be used for the standard output
		  stream of the	batch job.  The	path argument is of
		  the form:
		      [hostname:]path_name
		  where	hostname is the	name of	a host to which	the
		  file will be returned	and path_name is the path name
		  on that host in the syntax recognized	by POSIX.  The
		  argument will	be interpreted as follows:

		  path_name
		       Where path_name is not an absolute path name,
		       then the	qsub command will expand the path name
		       relative	to the current working directory of
		       the command.  The command will supply the name
		       of the host upon	which it is executing for the
		       hostname	component.

		  hostname:path_name
		       Where path_name is not an absolute path name,
		       then the	qsub command will not expand the path
		       name relative to	the current working directory
		       of the command.	On delivery of the standard
		       output, the path	name will be expanded relative
		       to the user's home directory on the hostname
		       system.

		  path_name
		       Where path_name specifies an absolute path
		       name, then the qsub will	supply the name	of the
		       host on which it	is executing for the hostname.

		  hostname:path_name
		       Where path_name specifies an absolute path
		       name, the path will be used as specified.

		  If the -o option is not specified, the default file
		  name for the standard	output stream will be used.
		  The default name has the following form:
		      job_name.osequence_number
		  where	job_name is the	name of	the job, see -n
		  option, and sequence_number is the job number
		  assigned when	the job	is submitted.

	  -p priority
		  Defines the priority of the job.  The	priority
		  argument must	be a integer between -1024 and +1023
		  inclusive.  The default is no	priority which is
		  equivalent to	a priority of zero.

	  -q destination
		  Defines the destination of the job.  The destination
		  names	a queue, a server, or a	queue at a server.

		  The qsub command will	submit the script to the
		  server defined by the	destination argument.  If the
		  destination is a routing queue, the job may be
		  routed by the	server to a new	destination.

		  If the -q option is not specified, the qsub command
		  will submit the script to the	default	server.	 See
		  PBS_DEFAULT under the	Environment Variables section
		  on this man page and the PBS ERS section 2.7.4,
		  "Default Server".

		  If the -q option is specified, it is in one of the
		  following three forms:
		      queue
		      @server
		      queue@server

		  If the destination argument names a queue and	does
		  not name a server, the job will be submitted to the
		  named	queue at the default server.

		  If the destination argument names a server and does
		  not name a queue, the	job will be submitted to the
		  default queue	at the named server.

		  If the destination argument names both a queue and a
		  server, the job will be submitted to the named queue
		  at the named server.

	  -r y|n  Declares whether the job is rerunable.  See the
		  qrerun command.  The option argument is a single
		  character, either y or n.

		  If the argument is "y", the job is rerunable.	 If
		  the argument is "n", the job is not rerunable.  The
		  default value	is 'y',	rerunable.

	  -S path_list
		  Declares the shell that interprets the job script.

		  The option argument path_list	is in the form:
		      path[@host][,path[@host],...]
		  Only one path	may be specified for any host named.
		  Only one path	may be specified without the
		  corresponding	host name.  The	path selected will be
		  the one with the host	name that matched the name of
		  the execution	host.  If no matching host is found,
		  then the path	specified without a host will be
		  selected, if present.

		  If the -S option is not specified, the option
		  argument is the null string, or no entry from	the
		  path_list is selected, the execution will use	the
		  user's login shell on	the execution host.

	  -u user_list
		  Defines the user name	under which the	job is to run
		  on the execution system.

		  The user_list	argument is of the form:
		      user[@host][,user[@host],...]
		  Only one user	name may be given per specified	host.
		  Only one of the user specifications may be supplied
		  without the corresponding host specification.	 That
		  user name will used for execution on any host	not
		  named	in the argument	list.  If unset, the user list
		  defaults to the user who is running qsub.

	  -v variable_list
		  Expands the list of environment variables that are
		  exported to the job.

		  In addition to the variables described in the
		  "Description"	section	above, variable_list names
		  environment variables	from the qsub command
		  environment which are	made available to the job when
		  it executes.	The variable_list is a comma separated
		  list of strings of the form variable or
		  variable=value.  These variables and their values
		  are passed to	the job.

	  -V	  Declares that	all environment	variables in the qsub
		  command's environment	are to be exported to the
		  batch	job.

	  -W additional_attributes
		  The -W option	allows for the specification of
		  additional job attributes.  The general syntax of
		  the -W is in the form:
		      -W attr_name=attr_value[,attr_name=attr_value...]
		  Note if white	space occurs anywhere within the
		  option argument string or the	equal sign, "=",
		  occurs within	an attribute_value string, then	the
		  string must be enclosed with either single or	double
		  quote	marks.

		  PBS currently	supports the following attributes
		  within the -W	option.

		  depend=dependency_list
		  Defines the dependency between this and other	jobs.
		  The dependency_list is in the	form:
		  type:argument[,type:argument[:argument...],...]
		  The argument is either a numeric count or a PBS job
		  id.  If argument is a	count, it must be greater than
		  0.  If it is a job id, the job id must be fully
		  specified in the form	seq_number.server.name.

		      synccount:count
			  This job is the first	in a set of jobs to be
			  executed at the same time.  Count is the
			  number of additional jobs in the set.

		      syncwith:jobid
			  This job is an additional member of a	set of
			  jobs to be executed at the same time.	 In
			  the above and	following dependency types,
			  jobid	is the fully qualified job identifier,
			  seq_number.server_name[@server], of the
			  first	job in the set.

		      after:jobid[:jobid...]
			  This job may be scheduled for	execution at
			  any point after jobs jobid have started
			  execution.

		      afterok:jobid[:jobid...]
			  This job may be scheduled for	execution only
			  after	jobs jobid have	terminated with	no
			  errors.  See the csh warning under "Extended
			  Description".

		      afternotok:jobid[:jobid...]
			  This job may be scheduled for	execution only
			  after	jobs jobid have	terminated with
			  errors.  See the csh warning under "Extended
			  Description".

		      afterany:jobid[:jobid...]
			  This job may be scheduled for	execution
			  after	jobs jobid have	terminated, with or
			  without errors.

		      on:count
			  This job may be scheduled for	execution
			  after	count dependencies on other jobs have
			  been satisfied.  This	form is	used in
			  conjunction with one of the before forms,
			  see below.

		      before:jobid[:jobid...]
			  When this job	has begun execution, then jobs
			  jobid... may begin.

		      beforeok:jobid[:jobid...]
			  If this job terminates execution without
			  errors, then jobs jobid... may begin.	 See
			  the csh warning under	"Extended
			  Description".

		      beforenotok:jobid[:jobid...]
			  If this job terminates execution with
			  errors, then jobs jobid... may begin.	 See
			  the csh warning under	"Extended
			  Description".

		      beforeany:jobid[:jobid...]
			  When this job	terminates execution, jobs
			  jobid... may begin.

			  If any of the	before forms are used, the
			  jobs referenced by jobid must	have been
			  submitted with a dependency type of on.

			  If any of the	before forms are used, the
			  jobs referenced by jobid must	have the same
			  owner	as the job being submitted.
			  Otherwise, the dependency is ignored.

		      Error processing of the existence, state,	or
		      condition	of the job on which the	newly
		      submitted	job is a deferred service, i.e.	the
		      check is performed after the job is queued.  If
		      an error is detected, the	new job	will be
		      deleted by the server.  Mail will	be sent	to the
		      job submitter stating the	error.

		      Dependency examples:
		      qsub -W depend=afterok:123.big.iron.com
		      /tmp/script
		      qsub -W
		      depend=before:234.hunk1.com:235.hunk1.com
		      /tmp/script

		  group_list=g_list
		  Defines the group name under which the job is	to run
		  on the execution system.  The	g_list argument	is of
		  the form:
		  group[@host][,group[@host],...]
		  Only one group name may be given per specified host.
		  Only one of the group	specifications may be supplied
		  without the corresponding host specification.	 That
		  group	name will used for execution on	any host not
		  named	in the argument	list.  If not set, the
		  group_list defaults to the primary group of the user
		  under	which the job will be run.

		  interactive=true
		  If the interactive attribute is specified, the job
		  is an	interactive job.  The -I option	is a
		  alternative method of	specifying this	attribute.

		  stagein=file_list
		  stageout=file_list
		  Specifies which files	are staged (copied) in before
		  job start or staged out after	the job	completes
		  execution.  On completion of the job,	all staged-in
		  and staged-out files are removed from	the execution
		  system.  The file_list is in the form:
		  local_file@hostname:remote_file[,...]
		  The name local_file is the name of the system	where
		  the job executed.  It	may be an absolute path	or
		  relative to the home directory of the	user.  The
		  name remote_file is the destination name on the host
		  specified by hostname.  The name may be absolute or
		  relative to the user's home directory	on the
		  destination host.

	  -z	  Directs that the qsub	command	is not to write	the
		  job identifier assigned to the job to	the command's
		  standard output.

     OPERANDS
	  The qsub command accepts a script operand that is the	path
	  to the script	of the job.  If	the path is relative, it will
	  be expanded relative to the working directory	of the qsub
	  command.

	  If the script	operand	is not provided	or the operand is the
	  single character "-",	the qsub command reads the script from
	  standard input.  When	the script is being read from Standard
	  Input, qsub will copy	the file to a temporary	file.  This
	  temporary file is passed to the library interface routine
	  pbs_submit.  The temporary file is removed by	qsub after
	  pbs_submit returns or	upon the receipt of a signal which
	  would	cause qsub to terminate.
     STANDARD INPUT
	  The qsub command reads the script for	the job	from standard
	  input	if the script operand is missing or is the single
	  character "-".

     INPUT FILES
	  The script file is read by the qsub command.	Qsub acts upon
	  any directives found in the script.

	  When the job is created, a copy of the script	file is	made
	  and that copy	cannot be modified.

     STANDARD OUTPUT
	  Unless the -z	option is set, the job identifier assigned to
	  the job will be written to standard output if	the job	is
	  successfully created.

     STANDARD ERROR
	  The qsub command will	write a	diagnostic message to standard
	  error	for each error occurrence.

     ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
	  The values of	some or	all of the variables in	the qsub
	  command's environment	are exported with the job, see the -v
	  and -V options.

	  The environment variable PBS_DEFAULT defines the name	of the
	  default server.   Typically, it corresponds to the system
	  name of the host on which the	server is running.  If
	  PBS_DEFAULT is not set, the default is defined by an
	  administrator	established file.

	  The environment variable PBS_DPREFIX determines the prefix
	  string which identifies directives in	the script.

     EXTENDED DESCRIPTION
	  Script Processing:

	  A job	script may consist of PBS directives, comments and
	  executable statements.  A PBS	directive provides a way of
	  specifying job attributes in addition	to the command line
	  options.  For	example:
	       :
	       #PBS -N Job_name
	       #PBS -l walltime=10:30,mem=320kb
	       #PBS -m be
	       #
	       step1 arg1 arg2
	       step2 arg3 arg4


	  The qsub command scans the lines of the script file for
	  directives.  An initial line in the script that begins with
	  the characters "#!" or the character ":" will	be ignored and
	  scanning will	start with the next line.  Scanning will
	  continue until the first executable line, that is a line
	  that is not blank, not a directive line, nor a line whose
	  first	non white space	character is "#".  If directives occur
	  on subsequent	lines, they will be ignored.

	  A line in the	script file will be processed as a directive
	  to qsub if and only if the string of characters starting
	  with the first non white space character on the line and of
	  the same length as the directive prefix matches the
	  directive prefix.

	  The remainder	of the directive line consists of the options
	  to qsub in the same syntax as	they appear on the command
	  line.	 The option character is to be preceded	with the "-"
	  character.

	  If an	option is present in both a directive and on the
	  command line,	that option and	its argument, if any, will be
	  ignored in the directive.  The command line takes
	  precedence.

	  If an	option is present in a directive and not on the
	  command line,	that option and	its argument, if any, will be
	  processed as if it had occurred on the command line.

	  The directive	prefix string will be determined in order of
	  preference from:

	      The value	of the -C option argument if the option	is
	      specified	on the command line.

	      The value	of the environment variable PBS_DPREFIX	if it
	      is defined.

	      The four character string	#PBS.

	  If the -C option is found in a directive in the script file,
	  it will be ignored.

	  User Authorization:

	  When the user	submits	a job from a system other than the one
	  on which the PBS Server is running, the name under which the
	  job is to be executed	is selected according to the rules
	  listed under the -u option.  The user	submitting the job
	  must be authorized to	run the	job under the execution	user
	  name.	This authorization is provided if

	       (1)  The	host on	which qsub is run is trusted by	the

		    execution host (see	/etc/hosts.equiv),

	       (2)  The	execution user has an .rhosts file naming the
		    submitting user on the submitting host.

	  C-Shell .logout File:

	  The following	warning	applies	for users of the c-shell, csh.
	  If the job is	executed under the csh and a .logout file
	  exists in the	home directory in which	the job	executes, the
	  exit status of the job is that of the	.logout	script,	not
	  the job script.  This	may impact any inter-job dependencies.
	  To preserve the job exit status, either remove the .logout
	  file or place	the following line as the first	line in	the
	  .logout file
	     set EXITVAL = $status
	  and the following line as the	last executable	line in
	  .logout
	     exit $EXITVAL

	  Interactive Jobs:

	  If the -I option is specified	on the command line or in a
	  script directive, or if the "interactive" job	attribute
	  declared true	via the	-W option, -W interactive=true,	either
	  on the command line or in a script directive,	the job	is an
	  interactive job.  The	script will be processed for
	  directives, but will not be included with the	job.  When the
	  job begins execution,	all input to the job is	from the
	  terminal session in which qsub is running.

	  When an interactive job is submitted,	the qsub command will
	  not terminate	when the job is	submitted.  Qsub will remain
	  running until	the job	terminates, is aborted,	or the user
	  interrupts qsub with an SIGINT (the control-C	key).  If qsub
	  is interrupted prior to job start, it	will query if the user
	  wishes to exit.  If the user response	"yes", qsub exits and
	  the job is aborted.

	  One the interactive job has started execution, input to and
	  output from the job pass through qsub.  Keyboard generated
	  interrupts are passed	to the job.  Lines entered that	begin
	  with the tilde ('~') character and contain special sequences
	  are escaped by qsub.	The recognized escape sequences	are:

	       ~.   Qsub terminates execution.	The batch job is also
		    terminated.

	       ~susp
		    Suspend the	qsub program if	running	under the C
		    shell.  "susp" is the suspend character, usually
		    CNTL-Z.
	       ~asusp
		    Suspend the	input half of qsub (terminal to	job),
		    but	allow output to	continue to be displayed.
		    Only works under the C shell.  "asusp" is the
		    auxiliary suspend character, usually CNTL-Y.

     EXIT STATUS
	  Upon successful processing, the qsub exit status will	be a
	  value	of zero.

	  If the qsub command fails, the command exits with a value
	  greater than zero.
