OpenPBS

The After Dependency dialog box contains widgets for instructing xpbs that the
job being submitted can only begin execution after one or more other jobs
have started execution, terminated with errors, terminated without errors, 
and terminated with or without errors.

The job ids with an "after" dependency on the job being submitted can be
specified by selecting one or more job ids from the listbox, which lists all
jobs currently known to xpbs from a previous poll, or typing directly into
the "after:", "afterok:", "afternotok:", and "afterany:" entry boxes. If you
select from the listbox, then be sure to click on one of the command buttons:
"started execution", "terminated without errors", "terminated with errors",
and "terminated with or without errors" to specify your intention. Note that
after clicking a command button, the job ids selected will be displayed on the
accompanying entry boxes with ":" being the separator for multiple job ids. If
you specify the job ids manually, be sure to separate them with ":".

This dialog box also contains a spinbox for specifying how many other
jobs that this job is dependent on for its execution; that is, this job can
only be scheduled for execution after dependencies on "count" number of jobs
have been satisfied.

On the listbox, you can also double click a job id to obtain more information
about the job.

Click on "ok" button after you are satisfied with the after dependency
attribute value of the job.  This is also the default action (as indicated by
the sunken look of the button) when the <Return> key is pressed.

Click on "reset to default" if you want to reset the after dependency attribute
values to the default settings.
