The Track Job dialog box is for enabling the periodic checking of returned
output files of running jobs.

===================
MONITORED USER JOBS
===================
The list of users whose jobs are to be monitored for returned output files 
can be specified by typing the username in the input entry, and then clicking
the "add" button.   Watch as your input gets loaded into the "Tracked Users:"
listbox. Entries of the latter can be deleted by selecting an entry, and then
clicking the accompanying "delete" button. If you want to modify an entry in
the listbox, then select the entry, which would result in its values to be
loaded into the input entry, then change the value of the input entry, and
finally click the accompanying "update" button.

========
INTERVAL
========
Setting the interval number of minutes is done by manipulating a spin box 
located at the bottom of the user name entries. Either type in a valid 
minutes value (> 0) on the spinbox entry, or click on the scrollbar arrows to
increment through the valid values.

============================
LOCATION OF JOB OUTPUT FILES
============================
A pair of radio buttons located at the upper right of the dialog box will
inform xpbs if the job output files being monitored are local (host where xpbs
was run), or would require some remote shell command to access the output
files. If the output files are returned to some remote host, then xpbs will
execute an
	RSH <remote_host> test -f <output_files>
to test existence of returned output files. RSH is whatever the remote shell
entry box is set to.

NOTE: Be sure the files are accessible from the host where xpbs was run (i.e.
.rhosts appropriately set). The use of remote shells can potentially slow down
the execution of xpbs so using this feature for remote files is discouraged.

=====================
RETURNED OUTPUT FILES
=====================
When an output file for a user job being monitored is found, then the
"Track Job" button (the one that originally invoked this dialog box) will
turn into a different color, and the "Jobs Found Completed" listbox is then
loaded with the corresponding job id(s). 

Click on a job id to see the contents of the output file and the error 
file. 

===============
COMMAND BUTTONS
===============
Clicking on these buttons represent the last step when manipulating this 
dialog box.

Click "start/reset tracking" to:
  1. cancel any previous tracking
  2. build a new list of jobs to be monitored for returned output files by
     checking the currently queued jobs.
  3. start periodic tracking
NOTE: Be sure to submit the jobs that you want monitored first before 
      enabling this feature.

Click "stop tracking" to cancel any previous tracking without enabling a
new tracking cycle.

Click "close window" to exit out of the dialog box. This is also the default
action when the <Return> key is pressed.
