<!-- Converted from text/plain format -->
<P><FONT SIZE=2>If the --with-default-server=NAME_OF_HEAD_NODE is set, is it OK not to have the /var/spool/pbs/server_name file at all?<BR>
<BR>
Relatedly, would it be possible to have this feature set by an environment variable? We would like to use Garrick's fedora extras RPM, but without having to create a file in /var on each "user access system". Ie a department could add torque-client to the default fedora install, then each group of users with a system could just set the correct env var to point to the NAME_OF_MASTER_NODE of the cluster that their group uses.<BR>

If by submission host you mean a place where users can sumbit jobs to<BR>
the rest of the cluster but is not the head node of the cluster, then it is<BR>
very simple to do. If you are creating a submission host (or as<BR>
we call it here a user access node) then you do not have to run any<BR>
of the various pbs daemons there. All you should need is a<BR>
/var/spool/pbs/server_name file with the name of your cluster head node<BR>
in it and the pbs client commands installed. In fact when I compile torque<BR>
on a user access system I usually do "--disable-mom --disable-server --enable-clients"<BR>
as well as a --with-default-server=NAME_OF_HEAD_NODE<BR>
