I fiddled out a bit more, and found out that what I was looking for
was exactly AllocNodes. Basically, the users can submit batch jobs
from these jobs.

I think that mail_job_info() could be improved highly with some little
effort. We can change the function so that, the user can add such a
line to their batch script:
#SBATCH 
--mail-info:submittime,starttime,endtime,processors,nodes,nodelist,jobid,jobname,account
.. etc

We can parse the user's requests and in the message itself, we can
include all of the requested variables.

What would your opinions be on that ?
