When using a scheduling system there is a unique vocabulary used to describe
various actions and information presented by the system. For example, a program
being run, or preparing to be run by the scheduling system is called a
``job.'' Jobs are
``submitted'' to the system and are then
organized into ``queues'' which define the
rules for running a job and where, using what resources. New terms will be
explained as they come up, but be aware that there is a preferred method of
describing features and actions performed by the system.
