I'm not sure what your exact use case is, but in general cgroups are the best way to keep track of processes.

This is to catch an obscure bug in Torque 2.4.x where occasionally, if the kernel has gotten itself into an odd state, jobs can start up outside of the cpuset they are meant to be in due to a cpuset creation failure. :-( I'd prefer pbs_mom to fail job start up if it can't create the cpuset but beggars can't be choosers, and we'll be moving to Slurm soon anyway. cheers!
