Victor,

  If you choose Torque as your queue manager, have a look at Maui as 
the scheduler 
(http://www.clusterresources.com/products/maui-cluster-scheduler.php).

The integration with Torque is well documented and it is better than 
the built-in scheduler delivered with Torque.

Regards,

Reinaldo
