Job Script - The job script to use. Click the icon at the right

Job Args - Arguments to the job script.
Priority -
A counting box for setting the job's initial priority This priority ranks a single
user's jobs among themselves. Priority tells the scheduler how to choose among a single

Note - To enable
users to set the priorities of their own jobs, the administrator must enable priorities
with the weight_priority parameter of the scheduler configuration.
