Quick Reference to BNL version of DNQS, batch queueing on CCD Farm.

    1)   A user needs to request from CCD to become a farm user.
         (at that point CCD will setup no_login accounts on the
          farm platforms)  Currently IBM, DEC, SUN, HP & SGI are
          supported.

    2)   The issue of 'home directory' must be addressed.  Several
         options are available based on your needs.

               1: mount from your Unix workstation.
               2: mount from your CCD current work area.
               3: mount from CCD fileserver, Homer.
               4: other, depending on your needs.

    3)   add /usr/local/dnqs to your PATH.

    4)   Become familiar with the five DNQS user commands, please see man
         pages for, dnqs, qstat, qsub, qrm, qdate.

               0: dnqs  = Batch queueing system that allows submission
                          of jobs to classes of queues or queues.
               1: qstat = Show current status of dnqs queues.
               2: qsub  = Submit a job to the queueing system.
               3: qrm   = Remove a dnqs batch job from a queue.
               4: qdate = Convert a jobid to submission time.
               5: quse  = list of completed job for last n days. No man pg yet.

         Most common use of above commands;

               1: qstat (show all classes and queues) qstat xxx (where xxx is
                  a class or queue, limit the output to a class or queue)

               2: qsub -M cl  js (-M option does Mail notification/resource
                       usage) (where cl is the class and  js is your job script)

               3: qrm -a (remove all dnqs jobs submitted by this user id, you
                      will be prompted for a y or n for each job) or you can
                      also give the jobid, example: qrm 737123868

               4: qdate 737123868 (will return the following info about this job
                        Job submitted on: Tue May 11 08:37:48 1993

               5: quse n userid (where n is the number of days back from
                       today and userid is your userid).

         Environment and Output

               1: Many users include the 'source .cshrc' command in the
                  beginning of the job script to set the environment.

               2: You need to control your PATH in your script.  The
                  default starting point is your home directory.

               3: Default for standard output/error for each job is
                  placed in the directory 'Dnqs'. example:
                  737123868.stderr 737123868.stdout.

               4: Remember a '.forward' file if you plan on using
                  the -M (mail) option on qsub.
