The gateway to Torque configuration is the command qmgr. It reads configuration directives from stdin or from command-line argument (qmgr -c “directive”). Configuration directives are of the form

command server|queue|node [names] [attr OP value[,attr OP value,...]]

where command is set | unset | print | create | delete | list, names is a list of object names such as a queue name, and attributes are various object properties. Refer to the following links for detailed information on server and queue parameters.

The directive print server (qmgr -c “print server” or qmgr -c “p s”) prints all the server configuration in a format that is just the list of commands that needs to be given to qmgr to reconfigure the server exactly as it is. Example:

[root@licossrv4 maui]# qmgr -c 'p s'

Maui reads its configuration from a simple text file: /usr/local/maui/maui.cfg. Here is a full list of parameters, and here the the maui administration guide in pdf.
