<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Thank you everyone for helping me with this.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The only reason why I want to do that is to be able to track that job specifically. I am building a service to submit jobs to Torque. The same service will have to wait till the job is done and return the results
back to the call. So the service need to know when the job is completed to load back the results. I thought, the best way is for that service to keep asking the Torque on the status of the submitted job rather than looking up file(s) in the file system.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">So the service has to assign a number to the job and then force Torque to use that number. Now if the service wants to know the status of that job, it can asks the Torque server using the same job number. It
might be over kill way of doing things but that is the requirement. Now there might be a better way of doing that. I would love to hear it if someone else has better approach than this.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
