That's interesting, thank you.

...except that I still need to pass the job ID to the FINAL node's PRE 
or POST script. Trying $JOBID on the POST script gives a garbage result; 
I got a $JOBID of 0.2147483647 (note that 2147483647 == 0x7fffffff)

By the time I have got a jobid from schedd, it's too late to change the 
submit file. I suppose I could change the DAG file, but is there a 
cleaner way to pass this value to the final script?

Thanks again,

Brian.
