If your installation is interested in keeping track of resources used on an account basis, you can require all users to specify an account number in their job command files. They can specify this account number with the account_no keyword which is explained in detail in Job Command File Keywords. Interactive POE jobs can specify an account number using the LOADL_ACCOUNT_NO environment variable.
LoadLeveler validates this account number by comparing it against a list of account numbers specified for the user in the user stanza in the administration file.
Account validation is under the control of the ACCT keyword in the configuration file. The routine which performs the validation is called llacctval. You can supply your own validation routine by specifying the ACCT_VALIDATION keyword in the configuration file. The following are passed as character string arguments to the validation routine:
The account validation routine must exit with a return code of zero if the validation succeeds. If it fails, the return code is a non-zero number.
