NAME

       pbs_server_attributes - pbs server attributes

DESCRIPTION

       Server  attributes  can  be  read  by  any client; privilege is not required.  Most server
       attributes are alterable by a privileged client, run  by  a  user  with  administrator  or
       operator  privilege.   Certain  attributes  require  the  user  to have full administrator
       privilege.  The following is a list of the server attributes.

         acl_group_sloppy
                This is a default value for the  queue  attribute  of  the  same  name.   Format:
                boolean,  "TRUE",  "True", "true", "Y", "y", "1", "FALSE", "False", "false", "N",
                "n", "0"; default value: false = disabled.

         acl_host_enable
                Attribute which when true directs the server to use the acl_hosts access  control
                lists.   Requires  full  manager  privilege  to  set  or alter.  Format: boolean,
                "TRUE", "True", "true", "Y", "y", "1", "FALSE", "False", "false", "N", "n",  "0";
                default value: false = disabled.

         acl_hosts
                List  of  hosts  which may request services from this server.  This list contains
                the network name of the hosts.  Local  requests,  i.e.  from  the  server's  host
                itself,  are  aways  accepted  even if the host is not included in the list.  See
                section  10.1,  Authorization,  in  the  PBS  External  Reference  Specification.
                Requires    full    manager    privilege    to    set    or    alter.     Format:
                "[+|-]hostname.domain[,...]"; default value: all hosts.

         acl_logic_or
                This is a default value for the  queue  attribute  of  the  same  name.   Format:
                boolean,  "TRUE",  "True", "true", "Y", "y", "1", "FALSE", "False", "false", "N",
                "n", "0"; default value: false = disabled.

         acl_user_enable
                Attribute which when true directs the server to use the  server  level  acl_users
                access  list.   Requires full manager privilege to set or alter.  Format: boolean
                (see acl_group_enable); default value: disabled.

         acl_users
                List of users allowed or denied the ability to make any requests of this  server.
                See section 10.1, Authorization, in the PBS External Reference Specification.  If
                acl_user_enable is set to true, only users listed in acl_users may submit  to  or
                execute  jobs  in  the  queue.   Requires full manager privilege to set or alter.
                Format: "[+|-]user[@host][,...]"; default value: all users allowed.

         acl_roots
                List of super users who may submit to and execute jobs at this  server.   If  the
                job execution id would be zero (0), then the job owner, root@host, must be listed
                in   this   access   control   list   or   the   job   is   rejected.     Format:
                "[+|-]user[@host][,...]"; default value: no root jobs allowed.

         allow_node_submit
                Allow  job submissions from compute nodes regardless of ruserok().  Requires full
                manager privilege to set or alter.  Format: boolean; default value: disabled.

         auto_node_np
                Automatically configure a node's np value based  on  the  ncpus  value  from  the
                status  update.   Requires  full  manager  privilege  to  set  or alter.  Format:
                boolean; default value: disabled.

         comment
                A text string which may be set by the scheduler or  other  privileged  client  to
                provide  information  to  the  batch  system  users.  Format: any string; default
                value: none.

         default_node
                A node specification to use if there is no other  supplied  specification.   This
                attribute  is  only  used  by servers where a nodes file exist in the server_priv
                directory providing a list of nodes to the server.  If the nodes  file  does  not
                exist,  this  attribute is not set by default and is ignored if set.  The default
                value allows for jobs to share a  single  node.   Format:  a  node  specification
                string; default value: 1#shared.

         default_queue
                The queue which is the target queue when a request does not specify a queue name.
                Format: a queue name; default value: none, must be set to an existing queue.

         down_on_error
                Set a node's state to "down" if MOM reports a message beginning with  the  string
                "ERROR".   This  might interfere with moab's node error handling.  See the HEALTH
                CHECK section in pbs_mom(8B).  This is an EXPERIMENTAL feature and may be removed
                in the future.  Format: boolean; default value: false.

         extra_resc
                Add  additional string-type job resources.  They have no effect within TORQUE and
                are  only  advisible  to   the   scheduler.    They   can   not   be   used   for
                resources_default/min/max.  Format: list; default value: none.

         job_nanny
                Enables  the  "job  deletion  nanny"  feature.   All  job  cancels  will create a
                repeating task that will resend KILL signals if the initial  job  cancel  failed.
                Further  job  cancels will be rejected with the message "job cancel in progress."
                This is useful for temporary failures with a job's execution node  during  a  job
                delete  request.   It  is  possible  that  the job nanny might interfere with job
                restarts, migrations, and checkpointing.  Format: boolean; default value: false.

         job_start_timeout
                Specifies the pbs_server to pbs_mom TCP socket timeout in seconds  that  is  used
                when  the pbs_server sends a job start to the pbs_mom.  It is useful when the mom
                has extra overhead  involved  in  starting  jobs.   If  not  specified  then  the
                tcp_timeout value is used.

         job_stat_rate
                Moderates  how  often job stat requests will be issued from pbs_server to the MOM
                daemons.  If poll_jobs is unset or false, then all jobs that haven't been updated
                in job_stat_rate seconds will trigger a stat request.  If poll_jobs is true, then
                all jobs will be updated every job_stat_rate.
                 (see poll_jobs)  On active clusters, 60 or 120  might  be  reasonable.   Default
                value:  45  seconds  (PBS_RESTAT_JOB in server_limits.h) Minimum value: 4 seconds
                (PBS_JOBSTAT_MIN in server_limits.h)

         keep_completed
                Number of seconds to retain completed jobs in the C state.  This is overridden by
                the  execution queue attribute of the same name.  Format: integer; default value:
                0.

         kill_delay
                The amount of the time delay between the sending of SIGTERM and  SIGKILL  when  a
                qdel  command  is  issued  against  a  running  job.   This  is overridden by the
                execution queue attribute of the same  name.  Format:  integer  seconds;  default
                value: 2 seconds.

         log_events
                A bit string which specifies the type of events which are logged, see the section
                on Event Logging in chapter 3 of the ERS.  Format: integer; default  value:  511,
                all events.

         log_file_max_size
                If  this  is set to a value > 0 then pbs_server will roll the current log file to
                logfile.1  when  its  size  is  greater  than  or   equal   to   the   value   of
                log_file_max_size. This value is interpreted as kilobytes.

         log_file_roll_depth
                If  this  is set to a value >=1 and log_file_max_size is set then pbs_server will
                continue rolling the log files to logfile.log_file_roll_depth.

         log_level
                Controls the verbosity of server logs.  This value ranges from  0  to  7  with  7
                representing  maximum  verbosity.   Format:  integer;  default  value: 0, minimum
                verbosity.

         mail_body_fmt
                Override the default format for the body of outgoing mail messages. A  number  of
                printf-like format specifiers and escape sequences can be used:

         \n     new line

         \t     horizontal tab

         \\     backslash

         \'     single quote

         \"     double quote

         %d     details concerning the message

         %h     PBS host name

         %i     PBS job identifier

         %j     PBS job name

         %m     long reason for message

         %r     short reason for message

         %%     a single %

         Format:  a  printf-like  format  string;  Default  value:  "PBS  Job  Id:  %i\nJob Name:
         %j\nExec host:  %h\n%m\n%d\n".

         mail_domain
                Override the default domain for outgoing mail messages.  If set, emails  will  be
                addressed  to  "euser@mail_domain".  If unset, the job's Job_Owner attribute will
                be used.  Format: a domain name; Default value: none.

         mail_subject_fmt
                Override the default format for the subject of outgoing mail messages.  A  number
                of printf-like format specifiers and escape sequences can be used:

         \n     new line

         \t     horizontal tab

         \\     backslash

         \'     single quote

         \"     double quote

         %d     details concerning the message

         %h     PBS host name

         %i     PBS job identifier

         %j     PBS job name

         %m     long reason for message

         %r     short reason for message

         %%     a single %

         Format: a printf-like format string; Default value: "PBS JOB %i".

         mail_uid
                The  uid from which server generated mail is sent to users.  Format: integer uid;
                default value: 0 for root.

         managers
                List   of   users    granted    batch    administrator    privileges.     Format:
                user@host.sub.domain[,user@host.sub.domain...].   The host, sub-domain, or domain
                name may be wild carded by the use of an * character,   see  the  description  of
                user  access  control  lists in chapter 10.1.1 of the ERS.  Requires full manager
                privilege to set or alter.  Default value: root on the local host.

         max_running
                The maximum number of jobs allowed to be selected  for  execution  at  any  given
                time.  Advisory to the Scheduler, not enforced by the server.  Format: integer.

         max_user_run
                The  maximum number of jobs owned by a single user that are allowed to be running
                from this queue at one time.  This attribute is advisory to the Scheduler, it  is
                not enforced by the server.  Format: integer; default value: none.

         max_group_run
                The  maximum number of jobs owned by any users in a single group that are allowed
                to be running from this queue at one time.  This attribute  is  advisory  to  the
                Scheduler,  it  is  not  enforced by the server.  Format: integer; default value:
                none.

         mom_job_sync
                Enables the "job sync on MOM" feature.   When MOMs send a status update,  and  it
                includes  a  list  of jobs, server will issue job deletes for any jobs that don't
                actually exist.  Format: boolean; default value: true.

         next_job_number
                This hidden attribute is used to allow a manager to set the value of the next job
                ID  via  qmgr.  This  attribute should rarely be modified. Some sites may find it
                useful if they need to recreate their  pbs_server  database  (perhaps  due  to  a
                format  change  between  major  TORQUE  versions) and they keep a database of job
                information indexed by the job ID. The manager should be careful to avoid setting
                the  value  to  something that would allow the next job number to conflict with a
                job already queued, however Torque will handle this in a  sane  manner:  the  job
                submission will be rejected and the next job number will be incremented.

         net_counter
                Lists the 3 numbers representing the number of connections in the last 5 seconds,
                30 seconds, and 60 seconds.  This is  a  read-only  attribute.   Format:  string;
                default value: none.

         node_check_rate
                In  OpenPBS,  this  was  the  rate  at which pbs_server would poll each node.  In
                TORQUE, nodes periodically send updates  without  solicitation  from  pbs_server;
                this  attribute  is  now used as the maximum number of seconds allowed without an
                update before pbs_server will consider the node down.  Format:  integer;  default
                value: 150

         node_pack
                Controls  how  multiple processor nodes are allocated to jobs.  If this attribute
                is set to true, jobs will be assigned to the multiple processor  nodes  with  the
                fewest  free  processors.  This packs jobs into the fewest possible nodes leaving
                multiple processor nodes free for jobs which need many processors on a node.   If
                set to false,  jobs will be scattered across nodes reducing conflicts over memory
                between jobs.  If unset, the jobs are packed on nodes in the order that the nodes
                are  declared to the server (in the nodes file).  Default value: unset - assigned
                to nodes as nodes in order that were declared.

         operators
                List of users granted batch operator privileges.  Format of the list is identical
                with  managers  above.  Requires full manager privilege to set or alter.  Default
                value: root on the local host.

         poll_jobs
                Controls how pbs_server will send job status requests to  MOMs.   When  unset  or
                false, statjob requests from clients (ie: qstat(1B) or the scheduler) may trigger
                job status requests to MOMs and and must wait until the MOMs have  replied;  this
                is  suitable  for  small  to medium sized clusters.  When set to true, pbs_server
                will send periodic job status requests; this is suitable for busy  clusters  with
                lots  of  jobs,  lots  of clients, qstat(1B) is too slow, or your scheduler times
                out.  (see job_stat_rate) Default value: TRUE

         query_other_jobs
                The setting of this attribute controls if  general  users,  other  than  the  job
                owner,  are  allowed  to  query the status of or select the job.  Format: boolean
                (see acl_host_enable); Requires full manager privilege to set or alter.   default
                value: false - users may not query or select jobs owned by other users.

         resources_available
                The  list  of resource and amounts available to jobs run by this server.  The sum
                of the resource of each type used by all  jobs  running  by  this  server  cannot
                exceed  the total amount listed here.  Advisory to the Scheduler, not enforced by
                the server.  Format: "resources_available.resource_name=value[,...]".

         resources_cost
                The cost factors of various  types  of  resources.   These  values  are  used  in
                determining  the  order  of  releasing  members  of synchronous job sets, see the
                section on Synchronize Job Starts.  For the most part,  these  value  are  purely
                arbitrary and have meaning only in the relative values between systems.  The cost
                of the resources requested by a job is the sum of the  products  of  the  various
                resources_cost s and the amount of each resource requested by the job.  It is not
                necessary to assign a cost for each possible resource, only those which the  site
                wishes    to    be   considered   in   synchronous   job   scheduling.    Format:
                "resources_cost.resource_name=value[,...]"; default value: none, cost of resource
                is not computed.

         resources_default
                The list of default resource values that are set as limits for a job executing on
                this server when the job does not specify a limit, and there is no queue default.
                Format: "resources_default.resource_name=value[,...]"; default value: no limit.

         resources_max
                The  maximum  amount  of  each  resource  which  can be requested by a single job
                executing on this server if there is not a resources_max valued defined  for  the
                queue        in        which        the        job        resides.        Format:
                "resources_max.resource_name=value[,...]"; default value: infinite usage.

         sched_version
                A string specifying the scheduler version.  Schedulers should check  this  string
                when  starting  and  not  become  active  if  the wrong string is found.  This is
                ignored by pbs_server.

         scheduler_iteration
                The time, in seconds, between iterations of  attempts  by  the  batch  server  to
                schedule  jobs.   On  each iteration, the server examines the available resources
                and runnable jobs to see if a job can be initiated.  This examination also occurs
                whenever  a  running  batch  job  terminates or a new job is placed in the queued
                state in an execution queue.  Format: integer seconds; default value: 10 minutes,
                set by {PBS_SCHEDULE_CYCLE} in server_limits.h.

         scheduling
                Controls  if the server will request job scheduling by the PBS job scheduler.  If
                true, the scheduler will be called as required; if false, the scheduler will  not
                be  called and no job will be placed into execution unless the server is directed
                to do so by an operator or administrator.  Setting or resetting this attribute to
                true  results  in  an immediate call to the scheduler.  For more information, see
                the section Scheduler -  Server  Interaction  in  the  PBS  Administrator  Guide.
                Format:  boolean  (see  acl_host_enable);  default value: value of -a option when
                server is invoked, if -a is not specified, the value is recovered from the  prior

         system_cost
                An arbitrary value factored into the resource cost of any  job  managed  by  this
                server  for  the purpose of selecting which member of synchronous set is released
                first, see resources_cost and section 3.2.2, Synchronize  Job  Starts.   [default
                value: none, cost of resource is not computed]

         tcp_timeout
                Specifies  the  pbs_server  to  pbs_mom  TCP  socket timeout in seconds.  Format:
                integer; default value: 6.

         server_state
                The current state of the server:

                Active The  server  is  running  and will invoke the job scheduler as required to
                       schedule jobs for execution.

                Idle   The server is running but will not invoke the job scheduler.

                Scheduling
                       The server is running and there is  an  outstanding  request  to  the  job

                Terminating, Delayed
                       The  server  is  terminating in delayed mode.  The server will not run any
                       new  jobs  and  will  shutdown  when  the  last  currently  executing  job
                       completes.

         state_count
                The total number of jobs managed by the server currently in each state.

         total_jobs
                The total number of jobs currently managed by the server.
