[CIG-MC] PBS batch configurations

[Eh Tan]

Hi Robert,

Do these options work for you?

[CitcomS]
scheduler = pbs

[CitcomS.launcher]
command = mpirun -np ${nodes} -hostfile ${PBS_NODEFILE}

[CitcomS.pbs]
ppn = 8

[CitcomS.job]
name = test
walltime = 1*hour



You can try run citcoms with --scheduler.dry. It will output the batch
submission script to screen.
