| I actually did exactly this in my R script. The problem was that I did not know how to get the job index into R. Richard Pearson who replied earlier gave me the R command for doing this which is "Sys.getenv". Using this command I easily grab the job index number by using Sys.getenv("PBS_ARRAY_INDEX").

Cool. In that case I misunderstood the question -- you were really after the
interaction with your job scheduler.  My bad but kudos and thanks to Richard.
