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


One of Raytheon's customers, ARL, has requested
that a field be added to the accounting data. The
new field would be the time that the job is
eligible to start.  This would be different from
the qsub time in at least three cases:
1. a predecessor job was specified
2. a future start time was specified
3. the job was initially placed on hold
This field is needed because the DOD
Modernization Office which manages the MSRC
centers like ARL requires each MSRC to measure
the performance of their system using a
calculation they call an expansion factor. Two of
the terms in this calculation are the run time
and the queue wait time.  The queue wait time is
the time from when the job was eligible to run
until it actually started running. Currently,
they use the qsub time for their calculation,
which reflects badly on ARL and on Grid Engine.
