    Tells a pbs_comm the location of the other pbs_comms.

PBS_COMM_THREADS
    Number of threads for communication daemon.

PBS_CONF_REMOTE_VIEWER
    Specifies remote viewer client. If not specified, PBS uses native Remote Desktop client for remote viewer. Set on submission host(s). Supported on Windows only.

PBS_HOME
    Location of PBS working directories.

    Tells endpoint what hostname to use for network.

PBS_LEAF_ROUTERS
    Location of endpoint's pbs_comm daemon(s).

PBS_LICENSE_FILE_LOCATION
    Location of license server.

PBS_LOCALLOG
    Enables logging to local PBS log files.

PBS_MAIL_HOST_NAME
    Used in addressing mail regarding jobs and reservations that is sent to users specified in a job or reservation's Mail_Users attribute. Optional. Must be a fully qualified domain name. Cannot contain a colon (":").

PBS_MANAGER_GLOBUS_SERVICE_PORT
    Globus can still send jobs to PBS, but PBS no longer supports sending jobs to Globus. Port on which Globus MoM listens. Globus MoM is no longer available.

PBS_MANAGER_SERVICE_PORT
    Port on which MoM listens. Default: 15003

PBS_MOM_GLOBUS_SERVICE_PORT
    Globus can still send jobs to PBS, but PBS no longer supports sending jobs to Globus. Port on which Globus MoM listens. Globus MoM is no longer available.

    Location of MoM working directories.

PBS_MOM_SERVICE_PORT
    Port on which MoM listens. Default: 15002

PBS_OUTPUT_HOST_NAME
    Host to which all job standard output and standard error are delivered. If specified in pbs.conf on a job submission host, the value of PBS_OUTPUT_HOST_NAME is used in the host portion of the job's Output_Path and Error_Path attributes. If the job submitter does not specify paths for standard output and standard error, the current working directory for the qsub command is used, and the value of PBS_OUTPUT_HOST_NAME is appended after an at sign ("@"). If the job submitter specifies only a file path for standard output and standard error, the value of PBS_OUTPUT_HOST_NAME is appended after an at sign ("@"). If the job submitter specifies paths for standard output and standard error that include host names, the specified paths are used. Optional. Must be a fully qualified domain name. Cannot contain a colon (":").

PBS_PRIMARY

    Location of rcp command if rcp is used.

PBS_SCHEDULER_SERVICE_PORT
    Port on which default scheduler listens. Default value: 15004

PBS_SERVER
    Hostname of host running the server. If the short name of the server host resolves to the correct IP address, you can use the short name for the value of the PBS_SERVER entry in pbs.conf. If only the FQDN of the server host resolves to the correct IP address, you must use the FQDN for the value of PBS_SERVER. Overridden by PBS_SERVER_HOST_NAME and PBS_PRIMARY.
