[gt-user] questions about SEG, lost SGE jobs, and general stability

[Prakashan Korambath]

Quick question on the SGE configuration:

qconf -sconf command on our cluster shows

reporting_params             accounting=true reporting=true \
                              flush_time=00:00:15 
joblog=true sharelog=00:00:00

If reporting=true then there should be a reporting file in 
$SGE_ROOT/$SGE_CELL/common directory called reporting.

I don't know about the reporting.0 file though.
