A Message Job batch request is generated and sent to the server over the connection specified by connect which is the return value of pbs_connect().

The argument, job_id, identifies the job to which  the message is to be sent; it is specified in the form: sequence_number.server

The parameter, file, indicates the file or files to which the message string is to be written. The following values are defined in pbs_ifl.h:

#define MSG_ERR 2

directs the message to the standard error stream of the job.

#define MSG_OUT 1
