You could set up a QOS that only users allowed to use that queue can utilize. QOSCFG[high] PRIORITY=9000 QOSCFG[DEFAULT] priority=0 (or some other QOS parameter) USERCFG[userx] QLIST=high:DEFAULT QDEF=DEFAULT Don't forget to set QOSWEIGHT to something or the priority from QOS won't matter. Now only userx can use the "high" QOS. CLASSCFG[somequeue] QLIST=high:DEFAULT QDEF=DEFAULT should enable the "high" QOS for anyone allowed to use the "somequeue" queue. There are lots of other ways one can use this too. -- Ake Sandgren, HPC2N, Umea University, S-90187 Umea, Sweden Internet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: +46 90 7866134 Fax: +46 90 7866126 Mobile: +46 70 7716134 WWW: http://www.hpc2n.umu.se _______________________________________________ mauiusers mailing list [email protected] http://www.supercluster.org/mailman/listinfo/mauiusers
