Don't let the name scare you. Torque is merely a patched up OpenPBS, just like what you're considering upgrading. Pathnames, filenames, defaults, are still the same. You have to look hard to even find the difference.
On upgrading... no answer there yet for OSCAR infrastructure. Packages of course can be removed/added in OSCAR3+, but even that process requires caution and some sidestepping of potholes. (e.g. never add/remove multiple interdependent packages at a time, don't attempt to remove a package which has things depending on it, etc)
If removing PBS, the uninstall scripts have a minor bug that needs repair BEFORE the uninstall is attempted... all this is moot if you're using an OSCAR version prior to 3.0 though. If that's the case, about the best you can do is download the rpms and install them manually, and then walk through the associated API scripts to see what they do and if they'd run in your environment.

Jeremy, others,
I agree that Torque is the way forward, but I suspect many sites (such
as mine) will be reluctant to do a wholesale upgrade on a running site.
The thing I have will add many of the latest patches but allow them to
continue working with out too many operational changes.
BTW, is there any work going on, on how to upgrade an existing OSCAR site to a newer version? Starting from scratch not really practical for a production site.
