TORQUE Resource Manager
9.1 Accounting Records
TORQUE maintains accounting records for batch jobs in the following directory:
$TORQUEROOT/server_priv/accounting/<TIMESTAMP>
$TORQUEROOT defaults to /usr/spool/PBS and <TIMESTAMP> is in the form YYYYMMDD. These records include events, timestamps, and information on resources requested and used.
Records for four different event types are produced and are described in the following table.
| 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) |
Accounting Variables
The following table offers accounting variable descriptions. Descriptions for accounting variables not indicated in the table, particularly those prefixed with Resources_List, are available at 2.1 Job Submission.
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| ctime | time job was created |
| etime | time job became eligible to run |
| qtime | time job was queued |
| start | time job started to run |
