[torqueusers] Automatically resubmitting a failed job

[Joshua Bernstein]

Prakash,

There is a re-runable option you can set when you submit a job, but from what 
I've seen its been broken in recent versions of TORQUE. YMMV, though so you 
might want to try to enable it yourself. There isn't a way of setting a limit 
like "3" on it, but you might want to have a look at this thread
