TORQUE Resource Manager
9.1 Accounting Records

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
delete job has been deleted
exit job has exited (either successfully or unsuccessfully)
queue job has been submitted/queued
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
time job was created
time job became eligible to run
time job was queued
time job started to run
