------------------------


For compatibility, a site $SGE_ROOT/default/common/sge_qstat exists with the
contents
=========
-u *
=========

Accordingly, the jobs for all users are displayed.
A user customization, via ~/.sge_qstat with the contents
=========
-u $user
=========
or even
=========
-u olesenm
=========

has no effect. The jobs for all users are still displayed.
Adding other parameters, such as '-f', works as expected.

When the $SGE_ROOT/default/common/sge_qstat file is removed, the '-u' value in
~/.sge_qstat is respected.


Comments in the file also yield very interesting results:

With
=========
#-u $user
-f
=========
Error Message: invalid option argument "#-u"

With
=========
-u $user
#-f
=========
The '-f' option is ignored (as expected and desired)


With
=========
-u $user
# -f
=========
The '-f' option is applied !

Thanks!

It seems something went wrong with the fix of #2088.

   ------- Additional comments from olesen Mon Oct 1 06:19:35 -0700 2007 -------
In the fix #2088, the local/global parameters don't seem to be merged at all.
Note that I've tagged some of the code is 'a work in progress' (with an #error
pragma).

I'm still waiting for some input on
http://gridengine.sunsource.net/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=3198
before opening an issue for it and/or working on it further.
