[Aces-support] -bash: qstat : command not found

[Simon Mcclusky]

Peter,

There seems to be something strange about the way ao compute nodes are
behaving. I can issue qsub commands that are accepted from the geojr
compute nodes, but not from the ao compute nodes. Until this is resolved
you can run your scripts on the geojr cluster.

Greg - the problem on ao is the compute nodes see strange info for the
torque /bin directory where qsub resides:

?---------  ? ?    ?       ?            ? bin

I have no clue what this means!
