The value part of each line either is a single word or an expression enclosed by single or double quotes. The expression might contain whitespace characters. If the expression is enclosed by single quotes, it is allowed to use balanced or unbalanced double quotes within this expression and vice versa.
This command might be used for example in order to set the PSP_NETWORK environment variable globally without the need of every user to adjust this parameter in his own environment.
freeOnSuspend { true yes 1 false no 0 }
If the argument is one of yes, true or 1, suspending a task by sending the signal SIGTSTP to the logger will handle all resources (CPUs) currently claimed by this task as free.
If the argument is one of no, false or 0, ParaStation will not claim resources as free after sending
SIGTSTP.
handleOldBins { true yes 1 false no 0 }
If the argument is one of yes, true or 1, compatibility mode for applications linked with ParaStation version 4.0 up to 4.0.6 will be enabled. Keep in mind that this behavior might collide with the freeOnSuspend feature.
If the argument is one of no, false or 0, ParaStation will disable compatibility mode.
UseMCast { true yes 1 false no 0 }
If the argument is one of yes, true or 1, keep alive messages from the ParaStation daemon psid(8) are sent using Multicast messages.
If the argument is one of no, false or 0, ParaStation will use it's own RDP protocol for keep alive messages. This is the default.

LOAD_1
Sort by the load average during the last minute on the corresponding nodes
LOAD_5
Sort by the load average during the last 5 minutes on the corresponding nodes
LOAD_15
Sort by the load average during the last 15 minutes on the corresponding nodes
PROC+LOAD
Sort conforming to the sum of the processes managed by ParaStation and the load average during the last minute on the corresponding nodes
NONE
Do not sort at all.
