group: Group the job belongs to (option -g)
group,final: Group the job belongs to including the user subgroup (option -G)
inputs: List of input files (dependencies) (option -i)

interactive, useXdisplay: Set if the job requires an X display (option -Ix)
logfile: Name of the log file (option -l)
mailuser: Specification of who gets the e-mail notification (option -M)
osgroup: The UNIX group this job. This field is read-only and cannot be changed (see also user)
outputs: List of output files (option -o)
preemptable: A suggestion to determine if the job is preemptable
priority, default: Default priority (NOT USED)
priority, exec: Execution priority
priority, sched: Scheduling priority
proplist: Properties to be added to the job (option -P)
resources: The resources of the job (option -r)
rundir: The running directory for the job (normally)
schedule, date: NOT SUPPORTED YET
setName: The set to which the job belongs (option -set)
user: The user for this job. This field is read-only and cannot be changed (see also osgroup)
wait: Boolean: set it to 1 to wait for the job to complete (option -w)

wrapper: Wrapper used for the job (option -wrapper)
xdur: Expected duration of the job (option -X)
