Hi there,

As per the mailing list thread from 2011, subject "Option to make qsub block
until job completes ?" it would be useful to some of our folks who are
developing pipelines if we they could specify an option to qsub to block until
a job completes.

It would be extra shiny if there was some way to convey the exit code of the
job encoded in the exit status of qsub (perhaps the highest exit status of qsub
+ large offset?).
