If you have initialized TORQUE using the torque.setup script or started TORQUE using pbs_server -t create and pbs_server is still running, terminate the server by calling qterm. Next, start pbs_server again without the -t create arguments. Follow the script below to verify your server configuration. The output for the examples below is based on the nodes file example in Specifying node features and Server configuration.

At this point, the job should be in the Q state and will not run because a scheduler is not running yet. TORQUE can use its native scheduler by running pbs_sched or an advanced scheduler (such as Moab Workload Manager). See Integrating schedulers for details on setting up an advanced scheduler.
