[torquedev] pbs_mom -p and rerunnable jobs

I briefly tested the -q, it did not get me what I wanted. If you  
believe -q will allow rerunable jobs to run again after the MOM node  
gets rebooted after a crash, I'll redo my test.


>> What was the default behavior previously?


 From Torque 2.3.7 man page:


----
Normally the mini-server is started from the system boot file without  
the -p or the -r  option. The mini-server will make no attempt to  
signal the  former  session of any job which may have been running  
when the mini-server terminated. It is assumed that on reboot,  all  
processes have been killed.  The MOM will  mark  the  jobs  as  
terminated  and  notify  the  batch server which owns the job.

 From OpenPBS man page:

----
Normally the mini-server is started from the system boot file without  
the -p or the -r option. The mini-server will make no attempt to  
signal the former session of any job which may have been running when  
the mini-server terminated. It is assumed that on reboot, all  
processes have been killed.

Looks like Torque added the MOM's sending obit part, which I believe  
is the problem.
