NAME

       sge_schedule - format of the Grid Engine schedule file

DESCRIPTION

       The  schedule  file  is written by the qmaster when MONITOR=1 is set in the params item of
       sched_conf(5).

       Note that the file tends to grow rapidly,  and  should  be  truncated/rotated,  e.g.  with
       logrotate(1).   Also  it  should  probably  be  placed  on  local disk, not an NFS-mounted
       filesystem, for instance, because of the large number of small writes it typically gets  -
       e.g. make a symbolic link into the qmaster spool area (assuming that is local).

       See qsched(1) for a tool to process the data and produce information on reservations.
