Hi Chris, exactly this issue was posted by me in november 2005 (http://www.clusterresources.com/pipermail/mauiusers/2005-November/001825.html). Garrick provided a patch for this maui version (3.2.6p14-snap1129921819) and the cancelation of running jobs without a given walltime by maui was solved. By the way, this restart/cancel phenomenon is gone with maui revision 3.2.6p18-snap1164120675. At the end of this thread you predicted the dead of the jobs after 100 days. (http://www.clusterresources.com/pipermail/mauiusers/2005-November/001891.html). This is now prooved. There was no restart of maui, there is 'only' the interpretation of 'infinity' in maui, which means INFINITY=100:00:00:00 . Does anybody know where this definition is made in the sources of maui???? Thank you for your attempt to help best regards Thomas Dargel. > _______________________________________________ > mauiusers mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.supercluster.org/mailman/listinfo/mauiusers _______________________________________________ mauiusers mailing list [email protected] http://www.supercluster.org/mailman/listinfo/mauiusers
