DESCRIPTION
Issue a batch request to perform administration functions at a server. With this request server objects such as queues can be created and deleted, and have their attributes set and unset.

A Manage batch request is generated and sent to the server over the connection specified by which is the return value of pbs_connect(). This request requires full batch administrator privilege.

    #define MGR_OBJ_SERVER  0
    #define MGR_OBJ_QUEUE   1

        char   *name;
        char   *resource;
        char   *value;
