 After modifying the configuration file, helper programs and PALM code are compiled by executing
 {{{

 (3) Installation verification: 
 Follow the steps of the [https://palm.muk.uni-hannover.de/trac/wiki/doc/install/advanced#Installationverification verification procedure] as described on the PALM website.\\

-The Portable Batch System (PBS, version PBSPro14) is available on '''idefix'''. In the configuration file {{{.palm.config.idefix}}}, the necessary settings for using the PBS are already included.\\\\
-The queuing status can be obtained via the command qstat. A description of more PBS commands will follow soon.
+The Portable Batch System (PBS, version PBSPro14) is designed to manage the distribution of batch jobs and interactive sessions across the available nodes in the cluster. This is necessary to ensure an efficient use of the available computing resources among the users. PBS is available on '''idefix'''. The required settings for using the PBS are already included in the configuration file {{{.palm.config.idefix}}}.\\\\
+The status of a queued job can be obtained via the command '''qstat'''. Further relevant commands are:
+|| '''Command''' || '''Description''' ||
+|| pbsnodes || List the status and attributes of all nodes in the cluster ||
+|| qsub    || Submit a job ||
+|| qdel    || Delete a batch job ||
+|| qsig    || Send a signal to batch job ||
+|| qhold   || Hold a batch job ||
+|| qrls    || Release held jobs ||
+|| qrerun  || Rerun a batch job ||
+|| qmove   || Move a batch job to another queue ||
+|| qstat   || Show status of batch jobs ||
+|| qselect || Select a specific subset of jobs ||
+|| qalter  || Alter a batch job ||
+|| qmsg    || Send a message to a batch job ||
