Ok, so, if I want to "close"  the job in /some_dir, I must set -d in
qsub, but may do it using torque's var (PBS_O_INITDIR? 
Something like:

WORK_DIR=/some_dir 
TMPDIR=/some_dir/tmp
PBS_O_INITDIR=/some_dir 
PBS_O_ROOTDIR=/some_dir 
(looking at qsub's man page I saw -D option, I don't understand
differnces between -d and -D)

Thanks,
Arnau
