Signal a scheduling event.
The SIGNAL command sends a signal to the SCHEDULE SERVER. This command is automatically added to the temporary command files created when ever a job is submitted into an execution queue. Once at the beginning of job to signal that the job has started and once at the end to signal that the job has completed. The signal operation is optional. If a job terminates (via a crash or other abrupt mechanism) this event is picked up and becomes the completion signal.
