From a recent experience helping a user on Polaris, there are a few points that could use some clarification in our docs:
If you submit a job script that specifies #PBS -o /home/user/missing_dir/, and the target directory does not exist, the job will ping-pong between Running ---> Error --> Hold status, with confusing error messages, first claiming that Job run at Wed Oct 16 at 05:37, then job held, too many failed attempts to run
I don't think we ever explicitly say that a script submitted through qsub starts in $HOME?
Similarly PBS_O_WORKDIR is referenced a lot in the docs in example scripts, but deserves to be discussed in text alongside the above point.
Some users have tried to format the output file naming schema with variables like #PBS -o pbs_logs/R-$PBS_JOBID-$PBS_JOBNAME.out but I dont they are defined/ this is possible at job submission time? Might be a Slurm thing
Need to revisit the PBS Big Book on some of this
