I am currently running

> qstat -fx | grep etime

to get the etime for all jobs both current and past. Does PBS stores this information in lets say a log file which I can access to get this information or running thhe command is the only option for me?

You should be able to get the etime from the accounting logs:  
source /etc/pbs.conf  
cd $PBS\_HOME/server\_priv/accounting  
grep etime -R \*
