Years ago I wrote some simple scripts for generating Torque accounting reports 
from the accounting log files.  It's doing the job for us and a number of other 
sites.  One of the helper scripts is "pbsjobs" which prints 1 line per completed 
job, but in general you generate summary reports with pbsacct or pbsreportmonth.

You can download these scripts from
