Thanks, this looks like a good idea.  But it's quite different from what
the other batch systems do/provide, so shorter-term parsing `qstat -f`
looks more viable.

Two more questions:

1- Can the user-provided epilogue scripts be turned off server-side?  In
   other words, would this epilogue.user thing work on *every* site
   running TORQUE?

2- The docs are somewhat terse as to the actual format of the info
   passed to the epilogue.user script.  Can you please run an
   epilogue.user script that prints $argv[1] up to $argv[10] and send me
   the output?  E.g.

#! /bin/bash

echo Sample epilogue.user
echo ========
echo argv1=$1
echo argv2=$2
echo argv3=$3
echo argv4=$4
echo argv5=$5
echo argv6=$6
echo argv7=$7
echo argv8=$8
echo argv9=$9
echo argv10=${10}

Thanks,
R
