3.10. Charge for a Job

After a job completes, any associated reservations are removed and a charge is issued against the appropriate allocations based on the actual wallclock time used by the job (see Charging Jobs).

Example 3-11. Issue the charge for our job.

$ gcharge -J PBS.1234.0 -u amy -p chemistry -m colony -P 16 -t 1234

Successfully charged job PBS.1234.0 for 19744 credits
1 reservations were removed
        

Your allocation will now have gone down by the amount of the charge.

$ glsalloc -p chemistry

Id Account StartTime  EndTime    Amount    CreditLimit Deposited Description 
--- ---------- --------------- --------------- ------------- ---------------- ------------- ----------------
2  2       2005-01-01 2006-01-01 359980256           0 360000000
        

However, your balance actually goes up (because the reservation that was removed was larger than the actual charge).

$ gbalance -p chemistry —total

Balance   
------------- 
359980256 
The account balance is 359980256 credits
        

A job record was created for the job as a side-effect of the charge (see Querying Jobs).
