Should do...some processes which hold their log files open need to be HUPped or restarted after rotating the logs, but although 'fuser' reports the accounting file is open the qmaster doesn't seem to have a problem with this configuration, so the reporting file will probably be the same. If necessary a postrotate parameter can be added to restart the qmaster - man logrotate for the details on this...

Would this also work for the reporting file?

Do you rotate your accounting file at all? qacct performance suffers badly
when the accounting file gets too big. I  drop a file containing the
following into /etc/logrotate.d on the qmaster (replacing the path to the
accounting file to it's location on the system...) :

/opt/sge/current/bss/common/accounting {
     compress
     nocreate
     dateext
     delaycompress
     ifempty
     # keep logs essentually "forever"
     rotate 5000
     monthly
}

which gives me a date-stamped, gzipped monthly accounting file, so qacct
continues to perform in a sensible way.

Dear GE users:

Is it possible to have an epilog script which prints a summary of resource
usage (wallclock time, mem, cpu-seconds)?

I have tried an epilog bash script which calls qacct, but it took a long
time to generate that output.

Thanks,
