[torqueusers] torque-1.2.0p6 - massive emails and job nanny

[Simon Gao]

when tried enabling job_nanny, I got following error:

Qmgr: set server job_nanny=T
qmgr: Syntax error - cannot locate attribute
set server job_nanny=T
                                     ^

The torque version is 1.2.0p6.  Is there parameters required while 
compiling torque to add the attribute?
