5.599 Enabling Torque as a Service

Enabling Torque as a service is optional. In order to run Torque as a service, you must enable trqauthd. (see Configuring trqauthd for Client Commands).

The method for enabling Torque as a service is dependent on the Linux variant you are using. Startup scripts are provided in the contrib/init.d/ or contrib/systemd/ directory of the source package. To enable Torque as a service, run the following as root on the host for the appropriate Torque daemon:

Red Hat 6-based systems

> cp contrib/init.d/pbs_mom /etc/init.d/pbs_mom
> chkconfig --add pbs_mom
> cp contrib/init.d/pbs_server /etc/init.d/pbs_server
> chkconfig --add pbs_server

SUSE 11-based systems

> cp contrib/init.d/suse.pbs_mom /etc/init.d/pbs_mom
> insserv -d pbs_mom
> cp contrib/init.d/suse.pbs_server /etc/init.d/pbs_server
> insserv -d pbs_server

Red Hat 7-based or SUSE 12-based systems

> cp contrib/systemd/pbs_mom.service /user/lib/systemd/pbs_server.service
> systemctl enable pbs_mom.service
> cp contrib/systemd/pbs_server.service /user/lib/systemd/pbs_server.service
> systemctl enable pbs_server.service

You will need to customize these scripts to match your system.

These options can be added to the self-extracting packages. For more details, see the INSTALL file.
