script to epilogue and prolog that kill any processes owned by users
which qstat says do not have valid jobs for that system. Qdel almost
always works though, If your running parallel code be sure to
use an mpirun/mpiexec that uses tm. This will make sure that torque keeps
track of the code.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
