[torqueusers] specify job id

[Coyle, James J [ITACD]]

Hakeem,

Is there a reason you want the jobid to be something specific?
The only thing that I can think of is to use this after the fact to pick up the
output filenames when you have not used -e and -o
(or to keep track of it for issuing later Torque commands like
qdel or qstat. )

This can be done for a jobscript myjob (in sh , ksh  or bash) via:

qsub myjob
QSUB_RC=$?
JID=`echo ${QSUB_RC} | sed -e 's/\.*$//' `


Then  ${JID}  can be used later.

E.g.
if you had not use -e and -o to name STDERR and STDOUT filenames, these output should be in

myjob.e${JID}
and
myjob.o${JID}


-          Jim

Thanks
