Dear Travis,

well, if maui/pbs has the possibility of setting an environment variable 
or special file [like SGE (sun grid engine)], you can build a csh-script 
that takes care of generating a new .machines every time (I have to, due 
to time constraints in the queues, to submit a job for every cycle in 
the SCF). My .machines part of the jobs look like this, since we have 
the list of machines in $TMPDIR/machines:

---
# Build the Wien2k ".machines" file - this should be rebuilt every time
# The allocated CPU's are listed in $TMPDIR/machines
if (-e .machines) rm -f .machines
echo "granularity:1" > .machines
echo "extrafine:1" >> .machines
sed 's/aix/1:aix/g' $TMPDIR/machines >> .machines
---

Ask your system administrator where you can find the list of allocated 
CPU's...

Best regards,
Torsten Andersen.
