Hi Gizo,
thanks for the suggestion!
However torque has a feature not to immediately remove a completed job from
memory, but keep it for some configurable amount of time so that the qstat
command can display its utilization, including an exit status. This feature
is not a default in torque server and should be configured (option
keep_completed)
http://docs.adaptivecomputing.com/torque/6-0-1/help.htm#topics/torque/2-jobs/keepingCompletedJobs.htm?Highlight=keep_completed.

The command qstat -f displays the job exit status
qstat -f 1097122
.....
etime = Wed Jun 1 22:02:27 2016
exit_status = 0
submit_args = abc
....
Can you please provide me with the full `qstat -f` output for a
completed job?
It's worth mentioning that i) qstat -f will only work if the job is
still in the queue (queued, running, or completed); ii) by default, jobs
are removed from the queue as soon as they're completed.
So, although 'qstat -f' is an alternative you can certainly support,
it's not general enough to work with a 'standard' Torque setup.
A possible alternative is that GC3Pie submits an epilogue script for
each job it submits, to capture the exit code (& more) of the job...
