This is, verbatim, the text of the man file for sge_intro, from the installation on sheridan. It's a good summary of the SGE command-line commands available to you.

SGE_INTRO(1) Grid Engine User Commands SGE_INTRO(1)
NAME
Grid Engine - a facility for executing UNIX jobs on remote machines
DESCRIPTION
Grid Engine is a facility for executing UNIX batch jobs (shell
scripts) on a pool of cooperating workstations. Jobs are queued and
executed remotely on workstations at times when those workstations
would otherwise be idle or only lightly loaded. The work load is dis-
tributed among the workstations in the cluster corresponding to the
load situation of each machine and the resource requirements of the
jobs.
User level checkpointing programs are supported and a transparent
checkpointing mechanism is provided (see sge_ckpt(1)). Checkpointing
jobs migrate from workstation to workstation without user intervention
on load demand. In addition to batch jobs, interactive jobs and paral-
lel jobs can also be submitted to Grid Engine.
USER INTERFACE
The Grid Engine user interface consists of several programs which are
described separately.
qacct(1)
qacct extracts arbitrary accounting information from the clus-
ter logfile.
qalter(1)
qalter changes the characteristics of already submitted jobs.
qconf(1)
qconf provides the user interface for configuring, modifying,
deleting and querying queues and the cluster configuration.
qdel(1)
qdel provides the means for a user/operator/manager to cancel
jobs.
qhold(1)
qhold holds back submitted jobs from execution.
qhost(1)
qhost displays status information about Grid Engine execution
hosts.
qlogin(1)
qlogin initiates a telnet or similar login session with auto-
matic selection of a low loaded and suitable host.
qmake(1)
qmake is a replacement for the standard Unix make facility. It
extends make by its ability to distribute independent make
steps across a cluster of suitable machines.
qmod(1)
qmod allows the owner(s) of a queue to suspend and enable all
queues associated with his machine (all currently active pro-
cesses in this queue are also signaled) or to suspend and
enable jobs executing in the owned queues.
qmon(1)
qmon provides a Motif command interface to all Grid Engine
functions. The status of all or a private selection of the
configured queues is displayed on-line by changing colors at
corresponding queue icons.
qresub(1)
qresub creates new jobs by copying currently running or pending
jobs.
qrls(1)
qrls releases holds from jobs previously assigned to them e.g.
via qhold(1) (see above).
qrsh(1)
qrsh can be used for various purposes such as providing remote
execution of interactive applications via Grid Engine compara-
ble to the standard Unix facility rsh, to allow for the submis-
sion of batch jobs which, upon execution, support terminal I/O
(standard/error output and standard input) and terminal con-
trol, to provide a batch job submission client which remains
active until the job has finished or to allow for the Grid
Engine-controlled remote execution of the tasks of parallel
jobs.
qselect(1)
qselect prints a list of queue names corresponding to specified
selection criteria. The output of qselect is usually fed into
other Grid Engine commands to apply actions on a selected set
of queues.
qsh(1) qsh opens an interactive shell (in an xterm(1)) on a low loaded
host. Any kind of interactive jobs can be run in this shell.
qstat(1)
qstat provides a status listing of all jobs and queues associ-
ated with the cluster.
qtcsh(1)
qtcsh is a fully compatible replacement for the widely known
and used Unix C-Shell (csh) derivative tcsh. It provides a com-
mand-shell with the extension of transparently distributing
execution of designated applications to suitable and lightly
loaded hosts via Grid Engine.
qsub(1)
qsub is the user interface for submitting a job to Grid Engine.
