9.1 Accounting Records

TORQUE maintains accounting records for batch jobs in the directory

$TORQUEROOT/server_priv/accounting/<TIMESTAMP>

Where $TORQUEROOT defaults to /usr/spool/PBS and <TIMESTAMP> is in the form YYYYMMDD. These records include events, timestamps, and information on resources requested and utilized.

Records for four different event types are produced and are described in the table below.

Record Marker Record Type Description
D delete job has been deleted
E exit job has exited (either successfully or unsuccessfully)
Q queue job has been submitted/queued
S start an attempt to start the job has been made (if the job fails to properly start, it may have multiple job start records)

A sample record in this file may look like the following:
