Actually, there are four variables you can use in a POST script:

  $JOB
  $JOBID
  $RETRY
  $RETURN

For some reason, $JOBID and $RETRY weren't previously documented.  The 
lastest documentation has that info, but it hasn't gotten to the web yet.

Anyhow, $JOBID is almost what you want -- it's <cluster>.<proc> (e.g.,
123.1).  If you want just the cluster ID, hopefully your post script can 
parse the $JOBID value to extract that.

(One other note: $JOBID and $RETURN do not have valid values for a pre 
script.)
