Yes, that makes sense.
I wanted to have a global default but then let "savy" users *undo* the global
setup.
So what I am going to do is create a local "~/.sge_qstat" with "-u *" and let
the users who want to change the default to simply remove this file, or change it to their likings.
Best,
Joseph

After making this the system wide default, how can an individual users
change it back to just show their jobs?
In one account, I created:
$ cat ~/.sge_qstat
-u $USER
Trying to switch it back to only listing this one user qstat jobs, but I
still get the system wide listing of everyone.
The user file seems to add to the existing command line, ie including the
stuff from the system-wide definitions.
If you trace, eg do an strace of, the qstat invocation with both defiinitions
active, you'll see that both the -u * and -u $USER are being processed.
I think you may be approaching this in a slightly suboptimal way though,
involving two changes, the system-wide define and the user-education
define, when one "change" would suffice.
Why set a system-wide default that you think may want to be overridden
and so requires you to ALSO have to tell your users about the ~/.sge_qstat
methodology?
If you are going to have to tell them about ~/.sge_qstat anyway, why not tell
them how to add the "-u *" to their own file (or equivalent to their command
line qstat) so that they get to choose not to have the Grid Engine default in
favour of "-u *" listing.
Other system-level canges would be to give each user a ~./sge_qstat
or create a shell alias, say qstat_all, to hold the the default args you
want - either way allows the user to customise things for themselves.
Just my thre'pen'th though.
