The solution is the same as before - we don't have a PBS cluster, so
haven't written a startup mechanism for it (only for SGE). If you do
have a PBS cluster and a little bit of Python knowledge, it should be
straightforward for you (or others) to write such a PBS class using the
existing SGE classes as an example. But nobody has done that yet.

Sure - set rand_seed when you create your environ object; see
http://salilab.org/modeller/9v5/manual/node105.html

For example,
env = environ(rand_seed=-2000)
