This is done on purpose in case of unclean server shutdown to avoid potential job ID duplication, but should not happen on clean shutdown:

user1@osuse15:~> echo “sleep 10” | qsub

osuse15:~ # killall -9 pbs_server.bin
osuse15:~ # pbs_server

user1@osuse15:~> echo “sleep 10” | qsub

osuse15:~ # killall -15 pbs_server.bin
osuse15:~ # pbs_server
