NAME
user - Sun Grid Engine user entry file format

DESCRIPTION
A user entry is used to store ticket and usage information on a per user basis. Maintaining user entries for all users participating in a Sun Grid Engine system is required if Sun Grid Engine is operated under a user share tree policy.

If the enforce_user cluster configuration parameter is set to auto, a user object for the submitting user will be created automatically during job submission, if one does not already exist. The auto_user_oticket, auto_user_fshare, auto_user_default_project, and auto_user_delete_time cluster configuration parameters will be used as default attributes of the new user object.

A list of currently configured user entries can be displayed via the -suserl option. The contents of each enlisted user entry can be shown via the -suser switch. The output follows the user format description. New user entries can be created and existing can be modified via the -auser, -muser and -duser options to

Note, Sun Grid Engine allows backslashes (\) be used to escape newline (\newline) characters. The backslash and the newline are replaced with a space (" ") character before any interpretation.
