While TORQUE is executing the epilogue, epilogue.user, or epilogue.precancel scripts, the job will be in the E (exiting) state.
TORQUE takes preventative measures against prologue and epilogue scripts by placing an alarm around the scripts execution. By default, TORQUE sets the alarm to go off after 5 minutes of execution. If the script exceeds this time, it will be terminated and the node will be marked down. This timeout can be adjusted by setting the $prologalarm parameter in the mom_priv/config file.
