Moab can launch triggers based on certain events. For example, an administrator may want to send an email to the owner of a particular reservation when the usage drops below a specific threshold. Or a user may want to launch an evaluation script five minutes before a job is scheduled for completion. Triggers can be associated with jobs, nodes, vitual containers (VCs), reservations, or the core scheduler, and they enable actions to be taken when the specified event, offset, or threshold criteria are satisfied.
