I thought about that, but we're supporting multiple applications, and even if 
they could all be convinced to add the output, there's no guarantee that they 
would report things in a consistent way (i.e. max. physical vs. virtual 
memory), nor is there any guarantee that the output wouldn't change at some 
point in the future.  Finally, there are occasional 'run away' jobs that have 
to be killed so would never report their usage even thought they had consumed 
resources.

Since the queuing system already has access to all this information I'd like 
to find a way to leverage it (assuming it's easy enough to do).

Thanks for the response.
