Queue Name lets you specify the name of the queue in which you want to run a job.

Host Name lets you specify the name of the host on which you want to run a job. If you select the DEFAULT queue, you can specify any host name. If you do not specify a host name, the Job Monitor runs the jobs on your local host.

If you select a specific queue, you can type the name of a host that is available for the specified queue or click the arrow to select one of the hosts. If Host Name is left blank, the system assigns a host depending on the availability and the load of each machine assigned to the queue.

Error Log lets you specify the path to the file to which the stderr output of the job is sent. If the job attempts to write to its stderr, the contents are written to this file. This path can be specified as absolute or relative to the working directory of the job. The default is /dev/null.
