Bypassing .login and other shell setup scripts

John asks this question on the mailing list:

"when a job is submitted via qsub, and it gets dispatched to the execution node, it looks like the user's .login or .bash_profile (or whatever the shell's login sequence calls for) is executed on the execution node. Is there a way to change or prevent this action ? (using SGE 6.2u2) "

Read the resulting mailing list thread for multiple ways of avoiding this behavior. It can be done at job submission time with arguments or can be configured directly within global or queue specific settings.
