    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal("Couldn't connect to server: %s", err)
    }

    defer func() {
        err = Pbs_disconnect(handle)
        if err != nil {
            log.Fatal("Disconnect failed: %s\n", err)
        }
    }()

    jobid, err := pbs.Pbs_submit(handle, nil, "test.sh", "")
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal("Job submission failed: %s\n", err)
    }

    // ...
}

More examples can be found in the EXAMPLE.md

Testing

A test suite is present, it requires a running Torque server which accepts jobs from the user running the tests. If you have this, just run:

go test github.com/jbarber/pbs

The test suite also provides examples of how to use the functions.
