[Moabusers] Msub, qsub and command paths

[John Wang]

Hello Jerry

Yes, found that a few minutes after posting the message to the mail list and
it worked.

Of course, msub now tends to have the outputs all named STDIN.oXXX and
STDIN.eXXX instead of qsub¹s foo.oXXX and foo.eXXX for the script foo but
the user could specify the name with the ­N flag.   That¹s bound to raise a
few complaints from the user community.   My developers are also resisting
the change to msub on the basis that qsub tends to be a more common
submission command regardless of whether it¹s Torque, OpenPBS, Loadleveler,
SGE, etc.

Thanks,
John
