</span>No worries. These are actually good questions!<br>

<br>
</span>Yes, we recommend keeping the "-l release=trusty" in the command. The<br>
jsub process will currently give a warning on stderr if no "-l<br>
release=..." argument is present. Setting "-l release=trusty" is the<br>
same as the default today, but it will keep you from seeing that nag<br>
message.<br>

<br>
</span>The jsub, jstart, and qcronsub commands are all actually the same<br>
program, so the "-l release=trusty" advice applies to any of them that<br>
you may be using. The only difference between these three names is<br>
default arguments:<br>
<br>
* jstart ... == jsub -continuous -once ...<br>
* qcronsub ... == jsub -once ...<br>
