[torqueusers] running jobs with stdout to terminal and stdin from a script file

Thanks for the response.  I may be missing something but from the qsub man
page :

       If the -I option is specified on the command line or in a script
direc-
       tive, 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.
My reading  for -I mode is that the script (except for directives) is
ignored and you will be
using stdin for the source of commands.  That was why I had got more exotic
with the redirected inputs.
Which didn't work either.

If I exec any script with the -I mode what seems to happen is I get an
interative shell and the script commands
are not executed as per the description above.

I also tried in the script run non-interactively

#PBS -o /dev/stdout

this didn't work either.
