Hey Jen,
Maybe the -A field in qsub. It will get passed in to epilogue as field
9, so that at the job's completion you could set an epilogue script to tell
Gold to charge the account specified by -A.
gcharge -J PBS.1234.0 -p $9 -u amy -m colony -P 2 -t 1234
where -p would $9 in the epilogue script. You'd need to do some
parsing of the $7 to give time used. Almost everything else
maps pretty directly. Here is an overview of the epilogue args
http://www.clusterresources.com/products/torque/docs20/a.gprologueepilogue.shtml
What I'm trying to think thru now is if you do that, since Maui is already
charging, if they will get double charged? I guess you can make torque handle
all the charges, and just tell users to add the -A field for all jobs.
I'm a fan of doing things in Torque rather than Maui. Seems like you would also
be able to throw -W something in and teach the maui.cfg to override the default
charge group.
Seems like someone would have a more elegant solution than this, but those are
my thoughts.

Hi Brett and List Folks,
Yeah, I saw that they can do this manually, but maui is set to
automatically do this for the user to the user's default gold group -
I have it set up so the user doesn't have to reserve or do anything
special at all - because it is required that they pay for cycles, so,
we don't want the possibility of their being able to accidentally not
get charged... We also wanted this to be seamless. Seems like they
should e able to specify something - maybe a variable - in their
submission script and have this be passed to maui so it could change
their from their default project to something more appropriate for
their job... Am I making sense? Maui gets their default project from
gold, so it doesn't care. Maui passes the pbs job info as well to
gold without the user even having to know we have gold or what it
is... I want to say to the user, "Joe User, use this line in your
submission script to change your project for your job in order for
project X to be charged for cycles rather than Project Y"

How does the user choose that today, for this one job, he's working

Hey Jen,
Looks like on page 29 of the pdf it talks about charging to a specific
project making reservations and the like. I would assume that Torque/Maui
wouldn't need to be involved, as gold just needs to know the PBS job id,
and then it will make the charges appropriately.

It looks like so long as they allocate against their project correctly
when reserving it won't matter.
Hope this helps,
Brett
I'm sorry if this is covered in the documentation - I am just not finding it.
Thanks!!!
