Hi Shade

For the standard output report:

pbsacct  /path/to/your/server_priv/accounting/file_names

which are probably somewhere in your Torque/PBS server.

You can use shell file name wildcards to select a range of time in the 
file_names,
say, 201207?? to get a report for July/2012.

I hope it helps,
Gus Correa
