* Paths to commands:
** /usr/local/{bin,sbin} for PBS.
** /usr/local/maui/{bin,sbin} for Maui.

* Commands you'll probably use:
** qsub: Submit a job to a PBS queue.
** showq: Shows jobs Maui can schedule.
** qstat: Shows jobs that PBS advertises.
** canceljob: Cancels jobs.

* Commands have man pages.

* To submit a job to PBS, you'll need to write a shell script wrapper around it. There are commented option to PBS that qsub will interpret. Here's an example script:

<tt>
#!/bin/sh
#PBS -N primes_block
#PBS -o /cluster/home/skylar/athena/src/primes4/out.txt
#PBS -e /cluster/home/skylar/athena/src/primes4/err.txt
#PBS -q batch
#PBS -m abe

lamboot -v /cluster/home/skylar/athena/lam-bhost.def <br>
mpirun C /cluster/home/skylar/athena/src/primes4/primes_block -n 1000000 -s 500 <br>
lamhalt <br>
exit $! <br>
</tt>

-N gives the job name. -o tells PBS where to copy STDOUT to. -e tells PBS where to copy STDERR to. -q tells PBS which queue to submit the job to. -m abe tells PBS what mail options to use. abe enables all mail information.
