I’ve had to configure PBS (Professional, Open, TORQUE) for various license-controlled third party applications over the years. I share this on [GitHub](https://github.com/daftdan/pbs_3rd_party_license_res) in case it is useful for other administrators.

Hi Dan  
That’s ace. I cloned the repo and had a good look and a play with some of them. There are some Perl issues (like defined() now being deprected) and a few small config issues, but nothing major. Some of those will come in mighty useful.

I also released some PBS stuff recently. See [PBSWeb](https://community.openpbs.org/t/released-a-small-web-app-to-show-cluster-status/1416) but it does take a bit of time to install.

Nice short Perl scripts like yours are good, one can eyeball them for safety, test them out, and easiliy modify them to suit.

Best Regards  
Mike
