To quote man qsub(1):
-C prefix_string
Available for qsub and qrsh with script submission (-b
n).
Prefix_string defines the prefix that declares a direc-
tive in the job's command. The prefix is not a job
attribute, but affects the behavior of qsub and qrsh.
If prefix is a null string, the command will not be
scanned for embedded directives.
The directive prefix consists of two ASCII characters
which, when appearing in the first two bytes of a
script line, indicate that what follows is an Sun Grid
Engine command. The default is "#$".
The user should be aware that changing the first delim-
iting character can produce unforeseen side effects. If
the script file contains anything other than a "#"
character in the first byte position of the line, the
shell processor for the job will reject the line and
may exit the job prematurely.
If the -C option is present in the script file, it is
ignored.
However, please be warned that cronsub currently messes up custom
qsub options.
