    NAME
         accounting - Grid Engine accounting file format

    DESCRIPTION
         An accounting record is written to the Grid Engine  account-
         ing  file  for each job having finished. The accounting file
         is processed by qacct(1) to derive accounting statistics.

    FORMAT
         Each job is represented by a line in  the  accounting  file.
         Empty  lines  and  lines which contain one character or less
         are ignored.  Accounting record  entries  are  separated  by
         colon  (':')  signs.  The  entries  denote in their order of
         appearance:

         qname
              Name of the cluster queue in which the job has run.

         hostname
              Name of the execution host.

         group
              The effective group id of the job owner when  executing
              the job.

         owner
              Owner of the Grid Engine job.

         job_name
              Job name.

         job_number
              Job identifier - job number.

         account
              An account  string  as  specified  by  the  qsub(1)  or
              qalter(1) -A option.

         priority
              Priority value assigned to the job corresponding to the
              priority  parameter  in  the  queue  configuration (see
              queue_conf(5)).

         submission_time
              Submission time in seconds (since epoch format).

         start_time
              Start time in seconds (since epoch format).

         end_time
              End time in seconds (since epoch format).

         failed
              Indicates the problem which  occurred  in  case  a  job
              could  not  be  started  on  the  execution  host (e.g.
              because the owner of the  job  did  not  have  a  valid
              account on that machine). If Grid Engine tries to start
              a job multiple times, this may lead to multiple entries
              in  the  accounting  file corresponding to the same job
              ID.

         exit_status
              Exit status of the job script (or Grid Engine  specific
              status in case of certain error conditions).

         ru_wallclock
              Difference between end_time and start_time (see above).

         The remainder of the accounting entries follows the contents
         of  the  standard  UNIX  rusage  structure  as  described in
         getrusage(2).  Depending on the operating system  where  the
         job was executed some of the fields may be 0.  The following
         entries are provided:

              ru_utime
              ru_stime
              ru_maxrss
              ru_ixrss
              ru_ismrss
              ru_idrss
