It means that the job you submitted was converted to use the grid
engine. I experienced an out-of-memory error for my grid'ed-jobs, for
example. So just submit your jobs to see whether they still work [1]:

jsub -N <job_name> -once <to_be_executed>

Standard output is written to the file called <job_name>.out and
<job_name>.err

You can see an example of my new cronfile there: [2]

OOM errors were something like "cannot call constructor of <foo>" for
node.js
