Hello, I recently spent some time reviewing the mom\_logs and was curious to know in the following example output, what exactly is going on: > 10/28/2018 10:27:13;0100;pbs\_mom;Req;;Type 1 request received from root@10.30.255.254:15001, sock=8 > > 10/28/2018 10:27:13;0100;pbs\_mom;Req;;Type 3 request received from root@10.30.255.254:15001, sock=8 > > 10/28/2018 10:27:13;0100;pbs\_mom;Req;;Type 5 request received from root@10.30.255.254:15001, sock=8 > > 10/28/2018 10:27:13;0080;pbs\_mom;Job;76042.bright01-thx;running prologue > > 10/28/2018 10:27:13;0008;pbs\_mom;Job;76042.bright01-thx;Started, pid = 97236 > > 10/28/2018 11:27:46;0080;pbs\_mom;Job;76042.bright01-thx;task 00000001 terminated > > 10/28/2018 11:27:46;0008;pbs\_mom;Job;76042.bright01-thx;Terminated > > 10/28/2018 11:27:46;0100;pbs\_mom;Job;76042.bright01-thx;task 00000001 cput=20:09:57 > > 10/28/2018 11:27:46;0008;pbs\_mom;Job;76042.bright01-thx;kill\_job > > 10/28/2018 11:27:46;0100;pbs\_mom;Job;76042.bright01-thx;node0109 cput=20:09:57 mem=63093660kb > > 10/28/2018 11:27:46;0008;pbs\_mom;Job;76042.bright01-thx;no active tasks > > 10/28/2018 11:27:46;0100;pbs\_mom;Job;76042.bright01-thx;Obit sent > > 10/28/2018 11:27:46;0100;pbs\_mom;Req;;Type 54 request received from root@10.30.255.254:15001, sock=8 > > 10/28/2018 11:27:46;0080;pbs\_mom;Job;76042.bright01-thx;copy file request received > > 10/28/2018 11:28:46;0100;pbs\_mom;Job;76042.bright01-thx;staged 1 items out over 0:01:00 > > 10/28/2018 11:28:46;0008;pbs\_mom;Job;76042.bright01-thx;no active tasks > > 10/28/2018 11:28:49;0100;pbs\_mom;Req;;Type 6 request received from root@10.30.255.254:15001, sock=8 > > 10/28/2018 11:28:49;0080;pbs\_mom;Job;76042.bright01-thx;delete job request received > > 10/28/2018 11:28:49;0008;pbs\_mom;Job;76042.bright01-thx;kill\_job A few additional questions: why do we have multiple kill\_job commands? what does 'task 00000001 terminated" mean? In another example output I notice there are 4 kill\_job commands - is there a reason why?: > 10/28/2018 06:23:28;0002;pbs\_mom;Svr;Log;Log opened > > 10/28/2018 06:23:28;0002;pbs\_mom;Svr;pbs\_mom;pbs\_version=14.1.2 > > 10/28/2018 06:23:28;0002;pbs\_mom;Svr;pbs\_mom;pbs\_build=mach=N/A:security=N/A:configure\_args=N/A > > 10/28/2018 06:23:28;0008;pbs\_mom;Job;73337.bright01-thx;walltime 86410 exceeded limit 86340 > > 10/28/2018 06:23:28;0008;pbs\_mom;Job;73337.bright01-thx;kill\_job > > 10/28/2018 06:23:28;0080;pbs\_mom;Job;73337.bright01-thx;task 00000001 terminated > > 10/28/2018 06:23:38;0008;pbs\_mom;Job;73337.bright01-thx;kill\_job > > 10/28/2018 06:23:38;0080;pbs\_mom;Job;73337.bright01-thx;task 00000001 force exited > > 10/28/2018 06:23:38;0008;pbs\_mom;Job;73337.bright01-thx;Terminated > > 10/28/2018 06:23:38;0100;pbs\_mom;Job;73337.bright01-thx;task 00000001 cput=479:53:01 > > 10/28/2018 06:23:38;0008;pbs\_mom;Job;73337.bright01-thx;kill\_job > > 10/28/2018 06:23:38;0100;pbs\_mom;Job;73337.bright01-thx;node0109 cput=479:53:01 mem=9697960kb > > 10/28/2018 06:23:38;0008;pbs\_mom;Job;73337.bright01-thx;no active tasks > > 10/28/2018 06:23:38;0100;pbs\_mom;Job;73337.bright01-thx;Obit sent > > 10/28/2018 06:23:38;0100;pbs\_mom;Req;;Type 54 request received from root@10.30.255.254:15001, sock=8 > > 10/28/2018 06:23:38;0080;pbs\_mom;Job;73337.bright01-thx;copy file request received > > 10/28/2018 06:23:42;0100;pbs\_mom;Job;73337.bright01-thx;staged 2 items out over 0:00:04 > > 10/28/2018 06:23:42;0008;pbs\_mom;Job;73337.bright01-thx;no active tasks > > 10/28/2018 06:23:44;0100;pbs\_mom;Req;;Type 6 request received from root@10.30.255.254:15001, sock=8 > > 10/28/2018 06:23:44;0080;pbs\_mom;Job;73337.bright01-thx;delete job request received > > 10/28/2018 06:23:44;0008;pbs\_mom;Job;73337.bright01-thx;kill\_job
