We can also configure an epilog script (if it does not affect other people's job), and qacct is now available for you.

AFAIK you cannot modify the mailer option (but maybe someone knows how to do it). > Thanks, > Paolo Cheers, Arnau _______________________________________________ users mailing list users@gridengine.org https://gridengine.org/mailman/listinfo/users
