[torqueusers] ANNOUNCE: pestat v.2.12: Print a 1-line summary of jobs on each node

[Ole Holm Nielsen]

Dear Torque users,

There is an updated pestat version 2.12 available from
ftp://ftp.fysik.dtu.dk/pub/Torque/pestat.

New features are:

* Security: The pestat -C status file from crontab jobs is now stored in 
/var/lib/pestat in stead of /tmp


General info
------------

The pestat utility is used for printing a 1-line summary of jobs on each 
node.
It parses the output of "pbsnodes -a" and presents the output in a compact,
useful format.  In particular we use pestat all the time to display only 
those
nodes which have jobs that behave in an unexpected way, for example:

# pestat -f
Listing only nodes that are flagged by *
