to evaluate whether job is starving.
.br
Readable by all; settable by Manager.
.br
Format:

Used for authorization allowing users to submit and alter jobs.
Specifies whether user names are treated as being the same across the
PBS server and all submission hosts in the complex. Can be used to
allow users without accounts at the server host to submit jobs.
.br
If UserA has an account at the server host, PBS requires that
UserA@ is the same as UserA@.
.br
Readable by all; settable by Manager.
.br
Format:
.I Boolean
.br
Python type:
.I bool
.br
Behavior:
.RS
.IP True 3
PBS assumes that UserA@ is same user as UserA@. Jobs that run under the name of the job owner do not need
authorization.
.br
A job submitted under a different username, by using the
.I -u
option to the qsub command, requires authorization.
.br
Entries in .rhosts or hosts.equiv are not checked, so even if
UserA@host1 has an entry for UserB@host2, UserB@host2 cannot operate
on UserA@host1's jobs. User without account on server can submit
jobs.
.IP False 3
PBS does not assume that UserA@ is the same user as
UserA@. Jobs that run under the name of the job owner
need authorization. Users must have accounts on the server host to
submit jobs.

Formula for computing job priorities.
Described in the
.I PBS Professional Administrator's Guide.
If the attribute
.I job_sort_formula
is set, all schedulers use the formula in it to compute job
priorities. When a scheduler sorts jobs according to the formula, it
computes a priority for each job, where that priority is the value
produced by the formula. Jobs with a higher value get higher
priority.
