Let elaborate more my use case, my main goal is being able to get notified when a job is killed by the SGE because some hard resource limit is overcome.
Since I'm submitting many jobs, programmatically, by using an external tool, I would need a mechanism to get notified when jobs terminate and above all when some of them are killed. For this reason I would need a strategy other than a email message, that is not useful in this scenario. Since the SGE kill jobs by sending a SIGTERM signal, there's no way to intercept it in the job script. So I can't invoke the mailer from it or implement any other strategy there. Alternatives could be to use a epilog script or the "qacct" command, but unfortunately both of them are not available in SGE cluster of my institute. Thus, a custom mailer script is the only available option, I could use it to write the job notification to a file or even better to a socket. But I would need to do that at user level, I mean only for jobs submitted from my environment, without changing the default mailer for the other cluster users. For this reason I'm wondering if the mailer SGE configuration can be defined in the user environment. I'm not sure but I seem to remember that it is possibile to define the sge_conf file somewhere in the user $HOME directory. Any clue about that?
